What to include
- Distinguish ceremony time from meal time.
- Explain any relevant visitor or household arrangements.
- Ask for the number attending the selected gathering.
An example you can adapt
Illustrative wording. Replace the sample details with your own.
We invite you to join our family for a pooja followed by lunch. The ceremony will begin at the time shown in the invitation. Please RSVP with your party size and let us know if you expect to join only for lunch.
Put the plan into practice
A clear private invitation explains the occasion, the guest’s next step, and what the host needs to prepare. Keep the invitation link within the intended circle. Set required or optional RSVP questions according to the information you actually need, then review replies before making arrangements.
- Create a Private Invite with the occasion and capacity.
- Add relevant RSVP questions and share the link with intended guests.
- Review guest answers, capacity, and any waitlist before finalizing the plan.
Specific customs vary by household. Write your own expectations plainly rather than presenting them as universal rules.
A practical question
Should the invitation explain household customs?
Include practical guidance guests need for your gathering, particularly when some may be attending for the first time.
Where IndiAdda fits
Private Invites are separate from the public events feed. Shared HTTPS links open in the app when installed and have a browser fallback. Examples describe invitation wording, not catering, ticketing, or venue-booking services.
