Copy ## What to include in a engagement invitation message Check the message covers these points before you send it, so no guest has to ask you for details later. - Who is inviting: the parents, both families or the couple. - The names of both the bride and the groom, and the parents' names on a formal message. - The date, the time of the ring exchange and what follows it, lunch or dinner. - The venue with a landmark and the city. - Who is invited: the family, or a plus one. - A reply-by date with a reason, such as the hotel count. ### Before you send - Decide who the message is from before writing it. From the parents, it is formal and names both families. From the couple, it is warm and uses first names. - Say what the evening is: a ring ceremony, a roka at home, a sagai with dinner. Guests dress and plan their time around that one word. - If the engagement and a reception or sangeet are on different days, send one message per event. One long message with three dates gets one reply. - Send the invitation two to three weeks ahead and send a two-line reminder with the pinned location three days before. ## Send the engagement invitation on WhatsApp with one-tap replies Paste the message once and it goes to every guest individually on WhatsApp with Yes, No and Maybe buttons.
