Invitation messages
Invitation messages for your sister's wedding
Short answer
A sister wedding invitation message from you should name your sister and her groom, give the date and city, and say which functions the reader is invited to. Send it from your own number to your own friends and colleagues; your parents invite the relatives. Add one personal line about your sister, and put the card or link in the same message.

When it is your sister's wedding, you end up inviting more people than you expected: your school friends, your office, the neighbours who always ask after her, and half the family group on your parents' behalf. A sister marriage invitation message from you sounds different from your parents' formal note, and it should. Below are messages for each of those people, written for a brother or a sister to send.
- What to write and for your friends
- For colleagues and for relatives on behalf of parents
- From a brother, from a sister and in Hindi and Hinglish
What to write in a sister wedding invitation message
Name your sister first and her groom second, the way the family says it at home. Give the date and city, then say which functions are open to the person you are writing to; friends are often invited to the sangeet and the wedding, colleagues to the reception.
Keep one line that only a sibling would write. It is the difference between an invitation and a forward. For messages that go out in your parents' names, the wedding invitation messages guide has formal ones.
