Haldi is the brightest, messiest and happiest function before the wedding — turmeric, marigolds, music and a lot of laughter. The invite can be just as cheerful.
What to include
- Whose Haldi — the bride's or the groom's name (or both, for a joint Haldi).
- Date and time — usually a morning or early afternoon.
- Venue — often at home or a lawn.
- Dress code — the one detail guests always ask about.

Traditional Hindi
हमारी लाडली प्रिया की हल्दी की रस्म के शुभ अवसर पर आप सादर आमंत्रित हैं। दिनांक: 12 दिसंबर 2026, सुबह 10 बजे स्थान: हमारा निवास, शांति नगर, जयपुर पीले वस्त्रों में पधारें 💛
Haldi on the wedding card or a separate card?
Both work. Many families list Haldi in the functions table on the main wedding card, and then send a separate Haldi card the day before as a reminder — it gets more attention on WhatsApp than a line in a long card.
Tips
- Mention the end time if there's a lunch or another function after.
- Tell guests about haldi play — not everyone wants turmeric on their good clothes.
- For a joint Haldi, put both names, or "Rahul & Priya's Haldi".
