In short

You can make a Walima invitation online for free with IndiaDigital Invites: choose one of 7 Walima themes, add the function (Dawat-e-walima) 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 walima is the feast the groom’s family gives after the nikah, and for many families it is the largest gathering of the wedding. It is usually held the day after the nikah or within a few days, at a function hall or the family’s home, and the guest list reaches well beyond relatives to neighbours, colleagues and the wider community. In Hyderabad, Lucknow and Bhopal the menu is a matter of family pride, and in Dawoodi Bohra homes it is often served as a thaal jaman. Some families also hold a chauthi a few days later.

With a guest list that large, the most useful thing an invitation can do is help you count. This free page opens with Bismillah, shows the dawat time and the hall with a Google Maps button, and lets each family reply with how many people are coming. You see the total on your dashboard and can download it for the caterer. Write the welcome in your own words, in English, Urdu-flavoured Hindi or any script, and add the nikah or chauthi as separate items if you wish.

What your guests get

  • Bismillah or a dua of your choice at the top
  • Dawat timing and hall with a one-tap map
  • Nikah and chauthi as optional extra items
  • RSVP headcount for the caterer, downloadable as Excel
  • A jaali-and-lantern design made for nikah and walima

Questions

Can I write the invite in Urdu?

Yes. The second-language slot accepts any script, including Urdu, so guests can switch between English and your Urdu text with one tap.

Can I put the nikah and walima on one page?

Yes. Add the nikah as a second function with its own date and venue. Guests can reply to each separately, which helps if the nikah is smaller.

Will there be music on the invite?

Only if you choose it. You can set the music to none, and the page still opens with its animated entrance.

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.
