In short

You can make a haldi ceremony invitation online for free with IndiaDigital Invites: choose one of 10 haldi ceremony themes, add each function (Haldi and Lunch & dholki) with date, time, venue and a map, write the words in English and Hindi (or another Indian language), and share one link on WhatsApp. Guests need no app or login, RSVP is optional, and the page is deleted 7, 30 or 90 days after the event.

The haldi has become one of the most photographed days of an Indian wedding, but at heart it is still a family ritual. Turmeric paste mixed with besan, curd or rose water is applied to the bride and groom in their own homes, usually the morning before or the morning of the wedding. Marwari families call it pithi, Marathi families halad, Bengalis gaye holud, and Telugu families mark it during the mangala snanam. The guests are close: aunts, cousins, neighbours and friends who do not mind getting turmeric on their clothes.

Because the haldi often has a smaller guest list and a different venue from the wedding, it deserves its own invite. This free page shows the time, the place and the all-important dress code, shades of yellow, nothing you would be sad to stain, with a map button and an RSVP so you know how much haldi paste and how many plates to plan. Add the dholki lunch or the mehendi after it as separate items, and send personal links to the families you want there.

What your guests get

  • Dress code shown clearly: yellow, and clothes that can get stained
  • Haldi and lunch or dholki as separate functions
  • Directions to the house, farmhouse or poolside venue
  • RSVP so you know how many people to plan for
  • Photos and a countdown to the haldi morning

Questions

Should the haldi have a separate invite from the wedding?

If the haldi is only for close family and friends, yes, a separate link avoids confusing guests who are invited only to the wedding or reception. If everyone is invited to everything, put the haldi on your full wedding page instead.

Can I say “please wear yellow” on the invite?

Yes. Each function has its own dress code line, and it shows on the page as a small label under the time and venue, in English and Hindi.

Our haldi and mehendi are on the same day. Can both go on one page?

Yes. Add the mehendi as a second function with one tap, give it its own time, and guests can RSVP to each separately.

Free, no app for guests. Your invite, photos and replies are stored until 7, 30 or 90 days after the last function (you choose) and then permanently deleted. Privacy notes.
