The opening
Almost every nikah invitation begins the same way.
- Bismillah ir Rahman ir Raheem
- In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
- And among His signs is that He created for you mates from among yourselves. Surah Ar Rum, 30:21
The invitation itself
Name both families, then the couple, then the event.
- Mr and Mrs Imran Sheikh request the honour of your presence at the nikah of their daughter Fatima to Bilal, son of Mr and Mrs Yusuf Khan.
- With the grace of Allah, we invite you to the nikah of Fatima and Bilal.
- We would be honoured by your presence at the walima hosted by the family of the groom.
The closing line
The closing line is where a nikah invitation differs most from other invitations. It asks for duas, not for anything else.
- We request your presence and your duas.
- Your prayers for the couple are the only gift we ask for.
- Please remember them in your duas.
Two events, two guest lists
The nikah is often small and the walima larger, sometimes on a different day and hosted by a different family. Give each its own date, time and venue on the invitation rather than trying to describe the arrangement in a sentence.
Common questions
Open with Bismillah ir Rahman ir Raheem, name both families and the couple, give the nikah date, time and venue, list the walima separately, and close by asking for duas.
Yes. Type the wording in Urdu and guests read it in Urdu on any phone.
No. Every photograph slot is optional and a design closes up around the empty ones rather than leaving a blank frame.
