Nikah (marriage) is an important part of Muslim culture and men & women are encouraged to marry to complete their family and serve the will of Allah together. Like in any other religions, nikah is associated with many days of celebrations. It's written that one of the ways that Allah blesses a man is by giving him wives and children. As such, nikah is considered to bring blessings and grace into the lives of the newly wed couples. Families of the bride and the bridegroom play an important role in the various customs of a Muslim wedding.

Announcement of the auspicious day of wedding in a grand way is considered to be a vital part of upholding the traditions & prescribed directions. Hence, the aesthetics and wordings in Muslim wedding cards are taken quite seriously. Being the messenger of the good news to the world, families want them to be perfect. Before we start with the various elements present in a Muslim wedding invitations, let's discuss their types.

With respect to the two different ceremonies associated with a Muslim wedding, there are two types of cards given as an invitation for these two functions. Similar to other religions, there is a nikah ceremony first and then there is a Walima (reception/marriage banquet). Walima is an Arabic word that translates in English as gathering (for celebrating an occasion). It's not restricted only to weddings as it's also given on other celebratory events. Groom's parents usually give Walima invitations to close friends, relatives, and neighbours to celebrate the completion of the marriage. It's considered sinful not to accept a Walima (unless there is a genuine excuse for denying the invitation).

To keep the sanctity of marriage intact during the announcement as well, wordings chosen for the Muslim wedding invitations become extremely important. When you go to a wedding card shop, you'll be given some samples of the wordings that you could choose from; however, if you want something different than what is offered, then most such shops could easily create customised versions as well. Depending on the guests and your preferences, you can get the entire card in Urdu, English, or their combination. Nowadays, it's quite easy to find a plethora of options online too where you can easily compare different types of materials for cards, designs, colours, sizes, accessories, and prices. The turnaround times for large, customised orders (or any order for that matter) usually vary between 7-14 days. So ensure that you finalise a wedding invitation as soon as possible.
