We hear your wedding card wording worries, Maharanis!

We hear so many cries for help for invitation wording; we want to guide you through all of the little details. Don’t worry if you feel totally stumped and don’t know where to begin. We are here for you with a three-part wording post. Go back to Part 2 if you’re still stuck on laying out your and your parents’ names!

Celebration Details

Most Maharanis are a bit thrown off when wording their ceremony information within their Indian wedding card. Some South Asian celebrations are huge, lavish affairs with hundreds of guests and multiple events.

No matter what, be sure to list your main ceremony information on your wedding card. Giving guests a date, time and location is the bare minimum you should include, following your names.

If your wedding celebration is not limited to a ceremony and reception, think about how you want to present the event information to your guests. Some brides choose to mention all events within one wedding card. Sometimes there is not enough room to squeeze in all that info, and the pre- and post- wedding events require a second (or third) enclosure card.

We are here for you with a three-part wording post! Go back to Part 1 if you’re still stuck on beginning your invitation information with religious symbols or quotes!

Names

One of the most confusing parts about wording wedding cards is how to display your parents’ and your own names. Traditionally, the parents hosting the ceremony were the ones mentioned in the invitation. You can follow tradition by mentioning only one set of names:

Dr. and Mrs. Pandu and Padma Tadoori
Request the honor of your presence
at the marriage of their daughter
Hima Bindu
to
Srinevas

Or include both sets of parents within the wording:

Mrs. Kiran & the Late Mr. Andy Sippy
request the pleasure of your company to celebrate
the marriage of their son
Sanjay
to
Ana Victoria
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gil and Salve Tordilla

Invitation Design Brought to Life with Letterpress

There’s no doubt in our minds that the letterpress printing process breathes life into wedding invitation cards. Deep impressions, luscious inks, and quality paper all create a charm unmatched by other printing methods.

We especially love printing multiple ink colors on invitations for brides. Our most recent multiple-color endeavor was our Tanvi letterpress wedding invitation design.

Our bride chose to use deep teal and orange inks, along with a tint varnish to create more depth and texture on her ecru paper. She opted for a second paper layer, allowing those inks to pop even more. The result is so luxurious we just have to share it with you!

Her entire invitation suite looks gorgeous paired with a metallic orange envelope.

Sindhu steals the show for fall brides~

Sindhu is one of my favorite of our South Asian wedding invitation designs. Gorgeous paisleys work wonders for romantic, formal, and fun affairs (especially when spruced up with gold foil!).

Some brides have chosen to include blind impression within their invitation, adding even more depth to the beautifully letterpress printed piece.

Don’t forget to go wild with your customization! Religious symbols make this invitation truly “you.”

“The invitations came out AMAZING, a million times more beautiful than I ever have imagined them. The colors all turned out to be a perfect match and the gold foil is absolutely stunning. I am speechless. You were able to turn my vision and dream in to a reality. I don’t know what else to say; my jaw drops every time I look at them. I think this is how mothers feel just after they have given birth! =)

Thank you for everything. You have been the most pleasant individual I have had to work with during this entire wedding planning process. I will be in touch for the programs and menus. There is no way we are doing it any other way.” ~ Sindhu

One thing I love about South Asian wedding invitations is the fun symbols we get to utilize in the press. Different religious symbols add so much character to plain wedding invitations, and their letterpress nature seals the deal.

If you’re having a Sikh wedding ceremony, don’t hesitate to create the perfect letterpress wedding invitation! Our customization options will help your wedding cards stay within the realms of religious tradition.

The Perfect Wedding Invitation for Modern Indian Brides

It is no surprise to me that Lalita, featuring a lovely mandala pattern, is one of our most popular Indian wedding invitation designs. The Sanskrit meaning of “mandala” is circle — a symbol of perfection, eternity, unity and completeness. Given these meanings, it’s no wonder mandalas are used during a wedding vows ceremony.

The mandala pattern is especially chic when printed with blind impression.

This unique Indian style letterpress wedding invitation design is perfect for South Asian, Indian and Hindu weddings, but versatile enough to reach across to other cultures as well. Hebrew wording looks great paired with Lalita’s mandala design!
