Muhurat lines and Hindu wedding card wording
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.
