Muhurat lines and Hindu wedding card wording
By Paigam·
The muhurat is the soul of a Hindu wedding card: the auspicious moment, stated precisely. Everything else (the shloka, the elders' names, the venue) frames that one line.
The shloka or mangal opening
Cards traditionally open with an invocation. Shree Ganeshaya Namah is universal; families also use their kuldevta or a Gayatri line. On Paigam this is the eyebrow line above the couple's names, editable on every template.
|| Shree Ganeshaya Namah ||
|| Om Shri Ganeshay Namah ||
With the blessings of Lord Ganesha
Writing the muhurat line
State the tithi if your family observes it, then the civil date and the muhurat window. Precision is respect: guests plan travel around it.

The elders' line
North Indian cards often carry "With best compliments from" followed by grandparents or the extended family; it closes the card rather than opening it.
