Main features noted in the Islamic wedding card wordings

• The Muslim wedding invitation letters always start with a phrase taken from the Holy Quran, the sacred script of this religion. This phrase should bear some relevance to the piousness of the wedding and always written in Arabic language. Actually, these phrases are used for initiating the Islamic wedding card wordings, to seek divine blessings for the new phase of life of the wedding couple.

• Some Muslims also start their wedding invitations with the Arabic word ‘Bismillah’ or ‘Bismillāhi R-Raḥmāni R-Raḥīm’, meaning ‘In the name of God, who is most gracious and most powerful’. As this word is used at the starting of Holy Quran, it is considered to be extremely auspicious to start anything new with it, including the new marital life of a Muslim couple.

• The whole invitation letter contains all the details of the bride and groom, including their parentage, family background and the location of their individual residences, so that the wedding guests can get clear idea about them even before meeting them in person.

• The detailed address of the wedding venue and the reception party are mentioned at the end of the Islamic marriage invitation wordings, including any prominent landmark near the place, so that the guests do not find it very hard to search out the venue on the wedding day. The scheduled date and time should be mentioned separately below the invitation letter as well, in clear bold fonts, so that the viewers cannot miss to see it.
