(C) WEDDING INVITES

      AS A TRADITION



       I. THE IMPORTANCE OF THE WEDDING INVITATION


      Wedding Invitations are the first preview that guests
      get of the wedding.  It is a perfect chance to set the
      tone and the style for the Big Day.  It also gives details
      about the wedding schedule, but most importantly the
      wedding  cards  serve  as  a  legal  document  of  proof
      about the ceremony.

      Marriages  are  planned  in  Heaven  and  celebrated  on
      Earth.    Hence  the  perfect  measure  to  make  the
      occasion  blissful  and  documented  is  through  a
      wedding card.


      A wedding card is highly valued because it is for the
      first time the name of the bride and the groom appears
                                                                                                     IMAGE COURTESY :DELHIPLANET
      together.    Hence  this  unison  of  names  must  be  as
      unique and special as possible.  The mantras or slokas
      invoking  God’s  presence  and  blessings  are  often
      printed on the special elegant cards.  It is traditional to
      articulate wedding cards with God’s adorning the front
      side and the wedding details in the following inners.  An
      ostentatious  wedding  is  represented  by  high-quality
      cards with silver, gold and gemstones embedded on it.
