Re: wedding card content
How ironic, I was just thinking the same thing today! haha..
Somegroovychick is the person you shud get in touch with!
Re: wedding card content
i think in urdu it says the same thing in english, but… in urdu haha
i’m assuming this will be a formal wedding, so the wording is as follows…
Bismillah-ar-Rahman-ar-Raheem
Mr. and Mrs. X and Y
request the honour of your presence OR request the pleasure of your company
at the marriage of their daughter
Miss XY
to
Mr AB
son of Mr. and Mrs. A and B
on Saturday, the tenth of July
two thousand and nine
at eight o’clock in the evening
–
Banquet Hall DEF
Name of City
you can find tons of alternate wordings online that you can then translate into urdu depending on your preference. VerseIt.com is a good resource.
Re: wedding card content
when u go to the card organizers they ll show u so many samples so it ll be more easy for u to choose.
Re: wedding card content
thanks a lot for replying.
@ some groovychick
i will try verseit.com though it won't be easy translating to urdu.
@ torquisepari
the card printers here do not have urdu samples. they can print if i give them the text.
it would be great if i could get the invitation in urdu.
Re: wedding card content
**Once I received a wedding invitation, and the text in the card is so different, so captivating, couldnt remember the exact wordings, but the one in mehndi card is too different..Something like " chooriyoun ki khnak mien, mehndi ki khushbu mien,..."
**
" chooriyoun ki khnak mien, mehndi ki khushbu mien,..."
**

Lol! Thats so over the top!:D
Re: wedding card content

" chooriyoun ki khnak mien, mehndi ki khushbu mien,..." **

That actually wasn't funny.. sounds funny to you because I dont remember the exact text... that sounds funky rather, unlike routined shadi/mehndi invitations.
Re: wedding card content
for my mehendi invites, i had written,
Bring your best wishes
and your dancing shoes!
You are cordially invited to the
mehendi celebration for
Me & Him
etc. etc.
it took me so long to think of those two lines!!! i even posted a thread here about it :p haha
people loved it cos it got the message across about the nature of the event as we had a lot of non-desi people coming :)
Re: wedding card content
Just saw your pictures SGC. They're wonderful! What a beautiful blend of two cultures and religions. Looks marvelous!
Re: wedding card content
^ ahh, thanks lady! :)
let me find some urdu invitation cards in my home today n will post them here at night.
it would be great if you could that.
but if it is too much of a hassle, then forget about it.
chooriyoun ki khnak mien, mehndi ki khushbu mien....it sounds very nice. very creative
peshawar ya islamabad mai koe achi jaga hai cards ke???if yes mention plz:)btw koe apni shadi ka card post kar dai zara idea hu jae:)bahir sai dekha dai agr ander wala nahi dekhana chahta:P
Reception Invitation Wording
Hi guys,
Me and hubs are in a dilemma! We got married 2 years back in US but we didn't have a proper Walima/reception function because all his relatives live in Pakistan. We are finally having a reception party in Pakistan next month so we are not sure what to put down in the invitations! Please suggest the wording.
I found this sample online but not sure if it's appropriate or not:
Mr. and Mrs. CA's Pils
Invite you to join us
In celebrating the marriage of our son
Mr Right
To
CorruptAngel
Which took place [DATE of wedding] in [Location]
Come toast the happy couple
Saturday, November 2nd, 2008
Grovers Country Club
Plano, Texas
Or
Mr. and Mrs. CA's Pils
Invite you to join them for a dinner honoring
Mr. and Mrs. --- and CorruptAngel
Saturday, November 2nd, 2008
At blah blah banquet hall
Re: Reception Invitation Wording
Well I would say go with the 2nd one but either say "Mr. Right and Mrs CA" or "Mr. and Mrs Right" or "Right and CA"....
Re: Reception Invitation Wording
^Thanx lusi! I think 'Right and CA' will sound better. I also want something nice written on the cards other than usual stuff but can't think of anything right now. :(
Re: Reception Invitation Wording
Second one sounds better.
I was just thinking, since you're having an actual Valima, why not put it on the card that that's what it is. You will have a proper wedding card to always keep as well.
Here's an idea : :)
Mr. and Mrs. CA's Pils
Invite you to attend the Valima ceremony of their son, Mr right with CA.
Or:
Mr and Mrs CA's PIL would honor your attendance at the blessed Valima ceremony of their son, Mr right to CA.
Re: Reception Invitation Wording
yea i think second is better... i like YP's too... as it'll b ur Valima so have the word valima written on the card..... And i think in Islam aswell the shaadi is incomplete without a valima..
