how do wedding cards work? Like, does the girl’s side get just the mehndi/barat cards made and sends them to everyone (girl’s side + boy’s side) and then the boy’s side gets the walima cards made and then sends that out to everyone (boy’s side + girl’s side) OR does the girl’s side only make the mehndi/shaadi/walima cards for their side and then the boy’s side makes the mehndi/shaadi/walima cards for their own side?

I’m so confused.

Re: Wedding Cards

We only made the mehndi and shadi cards. We gave a count of them to the groom’s family to give to the guests that will be attending from their side, that said, we asked them how many cards they’d need before placing the order. The groom’s side made the valima cards and gave us a count of them to send to the guests from our side.

Wedding Cards

We gave inlaws set amount of cards for their invitees to the baraat minus the mehndi insert as it was a joint day and they had their own insert printed

Valima they gave us a set amount that we had requested according to our numbers

Re: Wedding Cards

hmm…apparently the way we’re doing it is that we’re printing our own cards for the shaadi mehndi walima and then their side is doing it for their own guests for the shaadi mehndi walima. I thought it was odd but my mom said it was because they would probably want more info about their own families or whatever on their cards (I guess its a punjabi thing or something to include grandparents, etc on the card)…

Weird. Anyone else do it like this?

Well technically the baraat day invite is from the girls family (in our families) on the valima invites i did notice that they had put

Grandson of x y z and x y z

My mil is punjabi and she enforces that lol our baraat day invite was from my mum and i had my late dads name added as my mums middle name

Mehndi card invite was from my massi and with compliments from my sisters.

Whatever works best for every family theres no set rule. as long as your invites are how u want them to be

Re: Wedding Cards

we’r doing the shaadi+mehndi cards and my inlaws are doing the valima ones. My mom has asked them approx how many guests will be be accompanying them and we’ll keep that many cards +10 (as a buffer) and give them those.

Similarly we’ll give them a number of our guests at the valima and theyll be sending us those cards.

I think it works best this way.

Re: Wedding Cards

If only it was acceptable to send an email instead. So much more convenient and easier and also think of the amount of money you’d save.
