Fun lines for friends (Hinglish)
- “Single life ka last episode. Aana toh banta hai!”
- “Rishta pakka, ab party pakki.”
- “Dulha ready, dulhan ready, bas aap ki kami hai.”
- “Save the date, the dance floor is waiting.”
For each function

- Haldi: “A little haldi, a lot of laughter.”
- Sangeet: “Come for the dance, stay for the dhol.”

Small details that matter
- Write dates in full (“Friday, 12 February 2027”), so nobody confuses 12/02 with 02/12.
- Add a dress code for each function. Guests love knowing “yellow for haldi”.
- Include a contact person’s number for guest questions.
