Gather in warmth to honour the joy of the walima.

Wording for Walima invitations sets expectations before guests make their plans. The included starter line—“Please join us for Walima, a beautiful wedding gathering shared with family, friends and heartfelt traditions.”—can be adapted to the hosts’ own voice, schedule and community. Practices may vary between families, communities and organisations in India, so describe the host’s actual plans rather than imply a single format.

For Walima, include the names of the couple and hosts, the ceremony date and start time, the venue address and what follows the ceremony. If reception timing, attire, transport, accommodation or an RSVP deadline will affect a guest’s plans, place those details where they are easy to find.

The supplied artwork includes elegant walima banquet table and crescent floral reception arch, providing a visual starting point connected to the occasion. Keep the couple’s names and ceremony details visually dominant, then use colour, typography and framing to match the formality of the day. Every text block, colour, frame and artwork choice remains editable before the card is shared online or downloaded.

“Please join us for Walima with [name or names].”

“We will gather on [date] at [time] at [venue].”

“Please reply by [date] using the RSVP link on this invitation.”

How to request an RSVP
