Tips for a Diwali invitation
- Send it early. Diwali week is busy, and families plan visits to several homes.
- Give a clear start time, and an end time for a card party or a weeknight office event.
- If you invite for puja, say whether dinner follows, so guests know whether to eat first.
- Mention a dress code if you want one, such as ethnic wear or a colour theme.
- Note parking, especially in housing societies where the gates get crowded during the festival.
- Many families keep Diwali day itself for their own home. A get-together on Dhanteras, Choti Diwali or the days after often gets more guests.
- Customs vary by region and family, so use the words your family uses: Lakshmi puja, Chopda pujan, Bestu Varas or Diwali Milan.

Making a Diwali invitation on Shubh
Pick a painted design from the Diwali invitations, add your message, and send it on WhatsApp. Guests open it in their phone's browser, with no app and no sign-in.
- One event, such as a Diwali party, is free to make and share; free invitations carry a small "Made with Shubh" mark.
- Put puja, a card party and a Diwali Milan on one invitation: every package, free included, covers every function, and paid packages have no watermark. See pricing.
- Guests reply per event with how many adults and children are coming, and you see the head count.
- Each guest can get a personal link that greets them by name, and you can see who has opened it.
- If the time or venue changes, the same link updates.

Questions
- How do I write a Diwali party invitation?
- Say who is inviting, what the gathering is (puja, dinner, card party), the day, time and address, and how to reply. Add a dress code or a note about dinner if needed.
- What is a short Diwali invitation message for WhatsApp?
- Greet the guest, name the event and day, and point to the link. For example: "Dear Priya, our Diwali party is on Saturday at 7 pm! Details and RSVP are in this link."
- How do I invite colleagues to an office Diwali party?
- Keep it friendly and inclusive: give the date, time and place, a dress code if any, and what is planned, such as lunch, a rangoli contest or games.
- Should I invite guests on Diwali day itself?
- Many families spend Diwali evening on their own puja, so a party on Dhanteras, Choti Diwali or the weekend after often suits guests better. Close family may still come for Lakshmi puja.
