Haldi
Haldi, mehendi and sangeet invitation messages
· 2 min read
The functions before the wedding are where the fun is, and their invitations can be playful in a way the main card can't. Here are messages for each one, from traditional to cheeky, with dress code lines and short texts for WhatsApp.
Haldi invitation messages
Haldi is the turmeric ceremony, usually on the morning before the wedding. Family and friends apply turmeric paste to bless the bride or groom, and yellow is the colour of the day.
Traditional
With joy we invite you to the haldi ceremony of our daughter Ananya, as we bless her with turmeric and love before her wedding. Saturday, 13 February, 10 am, at our home.
Fun
Things are about to get yellow! Join us for Rohan's haldi and bring your best dance moves. Old clothes recommended.
From the bride
Come and turn me golden before the big day. Haldi at 10 am on Saturday. See you there!

Sangeet invitation messages
The sangeet is the music night where both families perform, and everyone dances. It is often the most looked-forward-to night of the wedding.
Classic

Fun

One invitation for every function
You don't need a separate card for each function. One invitation can list haldi, mehendi, sangeet, wedding and reception, each with its own time and place, and guests reply to each one. If you only want some guests at some functions, you can send each guest an invitation that shows only the functions they are invited to.
For the main wedding card, see 30 wedding invitation messages.
Questions
- What do you write on a haldi invitation?
- Say whose haldi it is, the date, time and place, and ask guests to wear yellow. A playful line works well, such as "Things are about to get yellow!"
- What colour should guests wear to a mehendi?
- Green is traditional for mehendi, with bright florals. Many families name a colour on the invitation so the photos look good together.
- Can haldi, mehendi and sangeet be on one invitation?
- Yes. A digital invitation can list every function with its own date, venue and dress code, and guests reply to each one separately.
