As I mentioned in a previous thread, my family has decided to do the nikkah at the mehndi followed by a barat the next day. I’m having trouble trying to figure out wording…
Anyone have ideas? My mother is going to Pak tomorrow and need to send her info ASAP!
Thanks! I would REALLY appreciate it.
To give a little background, the nikkah will be at 7pm SHARP (I’m telling my fam/friends to be thre exactly at that time and everyone else can just come late or whatever). have me come out after and then do the rasams followed by dinner.
Re: Nikkah / Mehndi combined function invitation wording help please!
Mehndi is from your side; so from your sister. At least that's how we did it.
Since Nikah is more important than mehndi...then list that first. You can call it Nikkah and mehndi. Or Nikkah and Rasm-e-hina.
You could maybe start it off as "name of your family" cordially invites you attend the Nikkah ....followed by the time it will take place....followed by Rasm-e-Hina....follower by time of dinner.
On our cards, we put down that arrangement for maghrib prayer will be made at the hotel; I forget the exact wording. But it lets people know that they can pray at the hotel and so this helps them to come earlier.

ok so I was going to go with
"Mrs. & Mrs. Dad's first name, last name
cordially invite you to attend the
Nikkah Ceremony of their daughter SoConfused
at 7pm sharp inshAllah
followed by the
Rasm-e-Hina
at 8pm inshAllah
on DATE of event
Event location/address
RSVP info
But...since it's a nikkah, do we have to have my fiance's family on there too?
Re: Nikkah / Mehndi combined function invitation wording help please!
It's good for your guests to know whom you're getting nikkahfied to. So consider this:
Mr. & Mrs. __________ cordially invite you attend the Nikkah ceremony of their daughter
So confused
With
Name of the Guy
Son of Mr. And Mrs (the guy's parents)
On
(Date)
At
(Time followed by location)
Followed by
Rasm-e-hina
Dinner timings
Keep the font size of Nikkah and Rasm-e-Hina big...and the same...so that these two events stand out on the card layout.
Okay, that sounds good!
for the wedding I have this :
"In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful"
Mr. Dad and Mrs Mom
Request the honor of your presence
At the Wedding of their beloved daughter
So Confused
with
SoConfused Fiance
Son of Dr. FIL and Mrs. MIL
InshAllah on Friday, the Twelfth day of June
Two Thousand and Fifteen
Barat arrival : _____
Dinner: ____
Rukhsati _______
at
ADDRESS
With compliments from:
Soconfused Bro
SoConfused Sis
Does that work?
Also questions:
do people write out the different things (arrival of barat, dinner, rukhsati) on cards still? I've seen a few done with that and I kinda liked it...or is that weird?
