This one is from the bride's family, for a nikah and a walima on different days. If the groom's family is hosting, swap the names: "the Nikah of their son Adam with Maryam".

One short line under Bismillah is plenty. These are the ones families use most:

• "And among His signs is that He created for you spouses from among yourselves, that you may find tranquillity in them, and He placed between you affection and mercy." (Quran 30:21)
• "And We created you in pairs." (Quran 78:8)
• "They are a garment for you and you are a garment for them." (Quran 2:187)
• Barakallahu laka wa baraka alaika wa jama'a bainakuma fi khair: "May Allah bless you, send blessings upon you, and unite you both in goodness" (Sunan Abi Dawud 2130).

Send the link with a short message. Salaam first, the event and the time early, the details behind the link:

Many families keep the nikah small and the walima big. Make a personal link for each family: it opens the same invitation but shows only the events that family is invited to, and their reply counts for those events alone.

Need more? Add a note for each event: a prayer space, separate seating for men and women, or modest dress. Guests read it before they arrive, not at the door.

On our traditional templates, write the invitation in English, then add Urdu or Arabic. Guests switch language at the top, so grandparents read the language they're comfortable with and friends read English. Pakistani and Indian families can start from our nikah and walima card pages, or make a picture card in the free nikah card maker.

Pick a template, add the names, the families and each event, and preview it free. Designs like Noor Mahal open on a jali parting onto a candlelit marble courtyard; Aina opens on mirrored screens sliding apart. Share one link, and every reply lands in one list.
