(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.
