Questions and answers
- What is shaadi card matter?
- It's the wording printed on a wedding card: the blessing at the top, who invites, the couple's names, the date and place, and the family's names at the end. Copy one of the cards above and fill in your details.
- How are the names written on a Hindi wedding card?
- The groom's name gets चि. (chiranjeev) before it and the bride's name सौ. कां. (saubhagyakankshini). Parents are written as श्रीमती एवं श्री followed by the father's name.
- Does a Hindi wedding card have to start with Shri Ganeshay Namah?
- No. Many Hindu families open with it, or with the name of their family deity. You can leave it out, or start with a line of your own.

- Yes. Our Hindi designs already come worded in Hindi, and you can change any line in the editor, so paste the lines you like. You get one link to share on WhatsApp, and guests reply on it.
