# Wedding invitation messages for WhatsApp: 60 to copy

By Zaroor Aana. Last updated 15 November 2026. Page: https://zarooraana.com/blog/wedding-invitation-message-for-whatsapp

> A wedding invitation message for WhatsApp needs five things: the guest’s name, who is inviting, whose wedding it is, the date and the city. Keep it to two or three lines and put the invitation below it. Below are 60 messages to copy, for friends, relatives, colleagues, groups and status, in English, Hindi and Hinglish.

## In brief

- A good WhatsApp wedding invitation message is two or three lines long and starts with the guest’s name.
- The message carries the names, the date and the city; the card, video or link below it carries everything else.
- Friends can get a casual line, but elders and relatives should get a respectful one, ideally in the language you speak with them at home.
- Replace everything in square brackets with your own details before sending, and send each family its own message.
- If the invitation is a link, add one line saying it opens in the browser and there is nothing to download.

## What should a WhatsApp wedding invitation message say?

A WhatsApp wedding invitation message should say who is being invited, who is inviting, whose wedding it is, when and where. That is all. The full programme, the venue map and the dress code belong in the invitation itself, which sits just below the message.

- The greeting, with the guest’s name: “Namaste Sharma ji”, “Dear Anu aunty”, “Hi Rohan”.
- Who is inviting: you, your parents, or both families.
- Whose wedding: both names, so nobody has to guess.
- The date and the city. The exact venue can stay in the invitation.
- A warm closing line, and one line on how the invitation opens.

Two or three lines is the right length. A long message gets cut off with “Read more” and pushes the invitation down the screen. Send one chat per family, from your own number. The steps, and why a broadcast list is a poor fit, are in [how to send a wedding invitation on WhatsApp](https://zarooraana.com/guides/how-to-send-wedding-invitation-on-whatsapp).

## What is a short wedding invitation message for WhatsApp?

These short messages suit most guests. Each one fits on the screen without “Read more”. Swap the brackets for your details.

> Namaste [Name] ji, with our families’ blessings, [Bride] and [Groom] are getting married on [Date] in [City]. You and your family are warmly invited. The invitation is below.

> Dear [Name], we are getting married! [Bride] weds [Groom], [Date], [City]. Please come with the family. Details below.

## What do you write to invite friends and colleagues?

For friends, write the way you talk to them. A little fun is fine as long as the date and the city are still in the message.

> [Name]! The rumours are true. I am getting married to [Partner] on [Date] in [City]. Block the dates, book the tickets, no excuses. Details below.

> Guess who is getting married? [Date], [City]. I need you there from the first function to the last. Invitation below.

For colleagues and seniors at work, keep it polite and brief. Say clearly which function they are invited to.

> Hi [Name], I am getting married on [Date] in [City] and would be very happy if you could join us. The invitation is below.

> Dear [Name] sir, I am delighted to invite you and your family to my wedding with [Partner] on [Date] at [Venue], [City]. It would be an honour to have you with us.

> Hello team, I am happy to share that I am getting married on [Date]. You are all invited to the reception at [Venue], [City], at [Time]. Please do come. Invitation below.

## What do you write for relatives and elders, and from parents?

For relatives and elders, use the respectful form and invite the whole family by name. Call them after you send the message. For many elders the call is the real invitation.

> Namaste [Name] ji, with the blessings of our elders, we invite you and the whole family to the wedding of [Bride] and [Groom] on [Date] in [City]. Please come and bless the couple.

> Pranam [Name] uncle and aunty, [Bride]’s wedding is fixed for [Date] in [City]. You both have to come and stay for all the functions. I will call you this evening.

> Respected [Name] ji, it gives us great joy to invite you to the wedding of [Bride] and [Groom] on [Date] at [Venue], [City]. Your presence and blessings are very important to us.

> Dear [Name] mausi, the wedding is on [Date] in [City]. Please come a few days early, there is a lot to do and the house will not feel right without you.

> Namaste [Name] ji, please accept this as our personal invitation. We will also visit you with the card. [Bride] weds [Groom], [Date], [City].

> Dear [Name] chacha ji, please come with chachi ji and the children to [Groom]’s wedding on [Date] in [City]. The invitation below has every function, with timings and directions.

When parents are sending the message, they are the hosts, so the message is in their voice.

> Namaste [Name] ji, with God’s grace our daughter [Bride] is getting married to [Groom] on [Date] in [City]. We request you to come with your family and bless the couple.

> Namaste [Name] ji, we are happy to share that our son [Groom] is getting married to [Bride] on [Date] in [City]. You and your family are warmly invited.

> Dear [Name], [Spouse] and I invite you and your family to the wedding of our daughter [Bride] with [Groom], son of Mr and Mrs [Surname], on [Date] at [Venue], [City].

> Namaste [Name] ji, it is a happy time in our home. Our son [Groom] weds [Bride] on [Date] in [City]. Please treat this message as our personal invitation and do come.

> Dear [Name], my sister [Bride] is getting married on [Date] in [City]. On behalf of our parents, I invite you and your family. Please come.

> Dear [Name], my brother [Groom] is getting married to [Bride] on [Date] in [City]. Our whole family would be happy to have you with us.

## What do you write in Hindi?

These Hindi messages are in Devanagari and use the respectful wording found on wedding cards. Replace the words in brackets: [नाम] is the guest’s name, [वर] the groom, [वधू] the bride, [तारीख] the date, [स्थान] the venue and [शहर] the city.

> नमस्ते [नाम] जी, बड़े हर्ष के साथ सूचित कर रहे हैं कि हमारे सुपुत्र [वर] का शुभ विवाह [वधू] के साथ [तारीख] को [शहर] में होना निश्चित हुआ है। आप सपरिवार सादर आमंत्रित हैं। निमंत्रण नीचे है।

> सादर प्रणाम। ईश्वर की कृपा और बड़ों के आशीर्वाद से हमारी सुपुत्री [वधू] का शुभ विवाह [वर] के साथ [तारीख] को [स्थान], [शहर] में संपन्न होगा। आपकी उपस्थिति हमारे लिए सौभाग्य की बात होगी।

> कृपया निमंत्रण खोलकर बता दें कि आपके परिवार से कितने लोग आ रहे हैं, ताकि हम आपके स्वागत की तैयारी ठीक से कर सकें। धन्यवाद।

## What do you write in Hinglish?

Hinglish, Hindi written in English letters, is how most of us type on WhatsApp anyway. It suits friends, cousins and younger relatives.

> Namaste [Name] ji, bade harsh ke saath bata rahe hain ki [Bride] aur [Groom] ki shaadi [Date] ko [City] mein hai. Aap sabko saparivar aana hai. Invitation neeche hai.

> [Name] bhai, shaadi pakki ho gayi! [Date], [City]. Tujhe aana hi hai, koi bahana nahi chalega. Details neeche hain.

> Pranam [Name] aunty, [Date] ko [Groom] ki shaadi hai, [City] mein. Aap aur uncle zaroor aaiyega. Main shaam ko call karti hoon.

> Hum dono ki shaadi hai aur aapke bina adhoori rahegi. [Bride] weds [Groom], [Date], [City]. Zaroor aana.

> [Name], ghar ki shaadi hai, aapko do din pehle hi aana padega. [Date], [City]. Poora programme invitation mein hai.

> Sabko namaste, hamari beti [Bride] ki shaadi [Date] ko [City] mein hai. Aap sab saparivar aamantrit hain. Aapke aashirwad ka intezaar rahega.

## What caption goes on WhatsApp status or in a group?

A status or a group post is an announcement, not the invitation. Everyone sees the same words, so keep it short and still message each family yourself afterwards.

> Save the date. [Bride] weds [Groom], [Date], [City]. Personal invitations are on their way.

> Two families, one big celebration. [Date], [City]. #[Hashtag]

> From “just friends” to “just married” on [Date]. [Bride] and [Groom].

> The countdown begins. [Number] days to go for [Bride] and [Groom]’s wedding.

> शुभ विवाह। [वधू] संग [वर]। [तारीख], [शहर]।

> Hello everyone, with our parents’ blessings we are getting married on [Date] in [City]. Each of you will get the invitation from us personally. Please keep the dates free.

> Dear family, [Groom]’s wedding is fixed for [Date] in [City]. We will send every home its own invitation this week. Do tell us your travel plans so we can arrange your stay.

> Hi all, sharing some happy news with the society group. Our daughter [Bride] is getting married on [Date]. We will come to each of your homes to invite you.

## Should the message sit above an image, a video or a link?

The same message works above all three. An image or PDF is enough for one function at one venue. A link suits a wedding with several functions, because it can hold a map for each one, take replies and be corrected later. If you are unsure which to send, see [wedding invitation video or a link](https://zarooraana.com/guides/wedding-invitation-video-or-link).

When the invitation is a link, add one line saying how it opens. Families have heard about fake wedding invitations that ask you to install a file, so this line matters to cautious relatives. The full explanation is in [the wedding invitation APK scam](https://zarooraana.com/blog/wedding-invitation-apk-scam).

> Namaste [Name] ji, with our parents’ blessings we invite you and the family to [Bride] and [Groom]’s wedding on [Date] in [City]. The invitation is below. It opens in your browser, there is nothing to download. [Link]

> Hi [Name], here is our wedding invitation. All the functions, timings and maps are inside, and you can reply on it too. It opens in the browser, no app needed. [Link]

> नमस्ते [नाम] जी, [वधू] और [वर] के विवाह का निमंत्रण नीचे है। यह सीधे ब्राउज़र में खुलेगा, कोई ऐप या फ़ाइल डाउनलोड नहीं करनी है। आप सपरिवार ज़रूर पधारें। [लिंक]

With a Zaroor Aana invite you get a ready message along with the links, and each family can have its own link that shows only the functions they are invited to. You can [open every design](https://zarooraana.com/invites) with sample names before you decide.

## Questions families ask

### How long should a wedding invitation message on WhatsApp be?

A wedding invitation message on WhatsApp should be two or three lines, roughly 30 to 50 words. That is enough for the greeting, who is inviting, the couple’s names, the date and the city. Longer messages get cut off with “Read more” and push the invitation itself down the screen.

### Can I send the same wedding invitation message to everyone?

You can keep the same message and change only the name in the first line. A message that starts with the guest’s name feels personal, and it takes a few seconds per family. Sending identical words to everyone through a broadcast list or a group feels like an announcement, not an invitation.

### How do I invite someone to my wedding on WhatsApp politely?

Greet the person by name, say who is inviting, name the couple, give the date and the city, and close with a warm line such as “please come and bless us”. Send it from your own number, one chat per family, and call elders afterwards.

### Should a wedding invitation message be in Hindi or English?

Write the wedding invitation message in the language you normally speak with that person. Many families send Hindi or their mother tongue to elders and relatives, and English or Hinglish to friends and colleagues. It is fine to have two or three versions of the same message.

### What do I write when sending a wedding invitation link?

Write the usual message with the names, the date and the city, then add one line saying the invitation opens in the browser and there is nothing to download. Put the link at the end. Guests trust a link more when the details are already in the message.

### Is it okay to post the wedding invitation in a WhatsApp group?

A WhatsApp group is fine for announcing the date to cousins, friends or colleagues, but it should not replace a personal message. In a group, replies bury the invitation quickly and everyone sees every function. Announce in the group, then send each family its own invitation.
