What events take place at an Indian wedding?

The average Indian wedding typically takes place over three days filled with intimate ceremonies and lively entertainment. While there are cultural differences among religions, we’ve given you a quick breakdown of what you can expect at many Indian weddings.

• Day one —Haldi. Also known as the turmeric ceremony, this is a cleansing ritual said to bring success and prosperity to the bride and groom as they embark on their new life as a couple. Family members rub Haldi (a mixture of turmeric, water, and oils) on the bride and groom with mango leaves.
• Day one —Ganesh Puja. Taking place either a few days before the ceremony or on the day of, Ganesh Puja is an integral part of the wedding ceremony performed by the bride’s parents. It is an offering to the Hindu deity Ganesh to request good tidings for the new couple as well as a peaceful wedding ceremony.
• Day two —Mehndi ceremony. The bride and close female family members are decorated with henna designs.
• Day two evening —Sangeet ceremony. Men and women from both sides of the family come together for a relaxing evening of food, dancing, and performances.
• Day three —wedding ceremony and reception.

What do you include in an Indian wedding invitation?

With multiple days and locations, Indian wedding invitations can have a lot of logistics. You’ll want to ensure that your guests can attend your event easily, without having to reach out for additional information. Here are some basic Indian wedding invitation wording tips to get you started:

• Names: The couple’s names are a given, and often, parents' names are also listed on invitations (sometimes even grandparents if you’re following a traditional format)
• Guest’s name(s)
• Prayer or religious quote from your faith
• RSVP instructions : How and where will guests confirm their attendance?
• Gifts: Are they being accepted? Is there a registry? Link to it with a Registry Block.
• Schedule: Lay everything out in an organized way that tells guests where they need to be and what time they need to be there.
• Map: This one is optional but can be a huge relief for guests when your wedding takes place in various locations over several days. You can link to specific banquet rooms, parking, restrooms, and other logistical information using Blocks to cover all the details.
