Before an invitation is designed, settle the names, ceremonies, dates, timings and venues, the wording in each language, and whether you need printed cards, WhatsApp invites, an interactive link or a mix. Ask the family or host to approve those details first; correcting a printed card is slow and costly.
Confirm the details that cannot be wrong
Names, relationships, dates, muhurtham timings and venue addresses are the parts guests act on. Collect them in one message and ask the people named on the invitation to check the spellings, especially names written in both Telugu and English.
For a wedding with several ceremonies, list each one with its date, start time and venue. Haldi, mehendi, sangeet, the pelli and the reception often happen in different places, and guests travelling from other cities plan around them.
- Names exactly as they should appear, in each language.
- Each ceremony with its date, time and full venue address.
- The hosts and family members to be named on the invitation.
- A contact number for guests who need help on the day.
Write the wording in each language
Decide whether the invitation is in Telugu, English or both, and who writes the wording. Traditional invitations often begin with a verse or blessing; send it exactly as you want it printed. A designer sets the text, but a family member or priest should approve the Telugu wording.
Choose print, digital or interactive
Printed cards suit close relatives and traditional delivery. A WhatsApp image or PDF reaches everyone quickly and costs nothing to send. An interactive invitation link holds every ceremony, map and RSVP in one place, and can be updated if a timing changes. Many families use a printed card for elders and a digital version for everyone else.
- Printed card: size, paper, inserts, envelopes and quantity.
- Digital invite: an image or PDF sized for phone screens.
- Interactive link: schedule, maps, RSVP, gallery and how long it stays online.
- Wedding magazine: a booklet with your story and the schedule, printed or shared as a PDF.
Plan RSVPs and guest information
If you collect RSVPs, decide what to ask: name, number of guests, which ceremonies they will attend and any dietary needs. Keep the form short so it is easy to complete on a phone.
RSVP replies are personal information. Agree who can see them, where they are stored and when they will be deleted after the event.
Work back from the date
Allow time for drafts, family review and corrections, and for printed cards, proofs, printing and delivery. Digital invitations can be shared soon after approval, so they suit late additions and guests abroad.
Eightweave agrees the review points, formats and delivery date in a written quotation. The project brief form helps you collect these details in one place.
