Whether you're planning a traditional Muslim Nikah, a Hindu Shaadi, a Sikh Anand Karaj, or a Western-style civil ceremony, your wording should reflect your values, culture, and tone of the event. To help, we’ve curated 15 real-world invitation wording examples tailored for different backgrounds and ceremonies.
