The sangeet began as a ladies’ evening of folk songs and dholak in North Indian homes, and has grown into the biggest party of many weddings. Today it often means choreographed performances by both families, a couple’s dance, a DJ, and a dinner that runs late. It is usually held one or two nights before the wedding, sometimes combined with the mehendi or a cocktail. Gujarati families may hold garba and dandiya instead, and Punjabi families often have a jaago with lamps and boliyan on the same night.
A sangeet invitation has to set the mood and the logistics: what time the performances start (so the cousins are not late for their own number), what to wear, and where the venue is. This free page opens with a song of your choice, shows the sangeet and dinner as separate items with dress codes, and lets guests RSVP so you can plan seating in front of the stage. Add a photo story of the couple, a countdown, and personal links so each family feels specially invited.
