Engagement card matter in English and Urdu
By the eInvite team · Updated · 5 min read
Engagement card matter names the family that is inviting, says whose engagement it is ("the engagement of our daughter Ayesha with Hamza, son of Mr. & Mrs. Tariq Mehmood"), then gives the day, date, time and venue, and ends with a request for your presence. A Muslim engagement card usually opens with Bismillah. Copy-ready engagement (mangni) card matter in English, Roman Urdu and Urdu is below.
An engagement goes by many names: mangni, ring ceremony, baat pakki, or the Arabic and Urdu "nisbat". The wording is the same idea in each: two families announce the match and invite close relatives. Engagement guest lists are usually smaller than the wedding's, so the card can be warm and personal.

"Wald" (ولد) means "son of" and "bint" (بنت) means "daughter of". Many families leave out the other side's parents to keep the card short; both are correct.
