From the couple

When the two of you are hosting, keep it warm and simple:

Together with their families, [your names] invite you to celebrate their marriage on [day and date] at [venue], [city].
We’re getting married! Join us for a day of love, laughter and good food on [date] at [venue].

From the parents

Traditional invitations often come from the families:

[Parents’ names] request the pleasure of your company at the marriage of their daughter [bride’s name] to [groom’s name], on [day and date] at [venue].
With joy, the families of [bride’s name] and [groom’s name] invite you to celebrate their wedding on [date] at [venue].

For a nikah: verses and duas

Many Muslim couples open their invitation with a verse or a dua. These come from the studio’s Islamic texts library, ready to place in any design:

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. (Al-Fatihah 1:1)
وَمِنْ آيَاتِهِ أَنْ خَلَقَ لَكُمْ مِنْ أَنْفُسِكُمْ أَزْوَاجًا لِتَسْكُنُوا إِلَيْهَا وَجَعَلَ بَيْنَكُمْ مَوَدَّةً وَرَحْمَةً إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ
And of His signs is that He created for you spouses from among yourselves, that you may find comfort in them, and He placed between you affection and mercy. (Ar-Rum 30:21)
وَجَعَلَ بَيْنَكُمْ مَوَدَّةً وَرَحْمَةً
And He placed between you affection and mercy. (Ar-Rum 30:21)
بَارَكَ اللَّهُ لَكَ وَبَارَكَ عَلَيْكَ وَجَمَعَ بَيْنَكُمَا فِي خَيْرٍ
The marriage dua: may Allah bless you, send His blessings upon you and bring you together in goodness. (Sunan Abi Dawud 2130)
With the blessing of Allah, [your names] invite you to share in the joy of their nikah on [day and date] at [venue].

RSVP and closing lines

End with how to reply, and a warm word:

Kindly reply by [date] so we can save you a seat.
Your presence is the only gift we ask for.
We can’t wait to celebrate with you.

Send your link with a few words of your own:

Anything else on your mind? Write to us

Who should be named first on a wedding invitation?

Traditionally the hosts come first: the bride’s parents, both families, or the couple themselves. Choose what fits your families; every word in the design can be changed.

What should a wedding invitation include?

The names, the day and date, the time, the venue and its city, and how to reply. A digital invitation can also hold the map link, the schedule, a dress code and gift details.

Can I write the invitation in Arabic and English?

Yes. Write each language separately, and guests choose the one they read.

When should wedding invitations be sent?

Many couples send them four to eight weeks before the wedding, and earlier when guests travel. With a digital invitation, you can still update the details after sending.
