So Eid is quickly coming up and this is my first “engaged” Eid, meaning first one since engagement, and I bough Eid cards, one for my fiance and one for my in-laws. I thought it would be a nice gesture to put those in there from me along with the presents that my mom is mailing to them. Problem is… As I’m sitting here staring at the cards, I am at a loss of what to write!
I thought I would just write a card like I do to my friends but now all these thoughts of whats appropriate to say and all that are creeping into my head. I can’t just pour my heart out like I would to a friend, and I sure can’t say “Hey I look forward to being part of your family and celebrating eids with you guys” cuz even though that would be cute for a western family, that would be too outspoken or too bold of a statement for an engaged muslim girl.
I also don’t want the card to be too rukha/peekha where I just write “Salaam, Eid mubarak, Love Mano Rani”
Adviceeeeeeeeeeeee
