English wedding invitation

An English wedding invitation that still sounds like your family.

English is the default for most Indian invitations today — it is the language every guest, in every city and country, can act on. The structure stays Indian: the elders who invite, the couple, the muhurtham, the venue. Here is how to write it, and an animated invitation that carries it.

  • Live in five minutes
  • Every ceremony with directions
  • Live stream for family abroad
  • One-time payment, hosted for a year

How English families use it

An English invitation for an Indian wedding is not a Western one. The parents still invite ("Mr. & Mrs. Raman request the pleasure of your company at the marriage of their son"), the honorifics can stay (Chi., Sow., Sri, Smt.), the muhurtham or pheras carry a window, and the closing asks for blessings, not RSVPs. What English adds is reach: a guest in Dubai, a colleague in Bengaluru and a grandmother in Madurai can all read the same line. The best invitations mix — the family message in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi or Malayalam, and the practical details (dates, addresses, timings) in English. ShareMyInvite renders every script in a matching serif, and the buttons guests act on — Directions, Add to calendar, Watch live — are always in English.

The ceremonies, each on its own card

  • Engagement
  • Mehendi / Sangeet / Haldi (if held)
  • Wedding ceremony or Muhurtham
  • Reception

Every card carries the date, time, venue, a Directions button, Add to calendar, an optional catering note and — for the ceremony relatives abroad will watch — a Watch live button that goes live by itself.

Live preview — scroll it like a guest would.

FAQ

Should I use 'request the pleasure of your company' or something simpler?

Both work. Formal invitations from the parents keep the traditional line; invitations from the couple read better as 'We are getting married — please join us'. The wording guide has 25 samples for each voice.

Can I write the message in English and the names in Tamil?

Yes. Names, the family message and event titles can each be in any script; the invitation pairs Noto Serif Tamil with your chosen English font at matching weight.

How do guests open it?

As a normal link in WhatsApp — it opens in the built-in browser on any phone, no app or download. A preview card with your names shows before it is tapped.

What does it cost?

One payment, no subscription. Plans start at $3 with every feature above; Photos & Music and Video are the two plans above it, and a Save the Date is credited in full when you upgrade. A year of hosting and unlimited edits are included.

Can I change details after sending?

Yes — open the edit link from your email, change anything, save. The same link updates for everyone.
