Anand Karaj invitation wording for a Punjabi wedding
An Anand Karaj card opens under Ik Onkar and treats the gurudwara ceremony with the reverence it deserves, while the rest of the celebration — jaggo, mehndi, reception — can carry all the dhol-loud joy it wants.
The opening
Ik Onkar or Waheguru ji ki fateh opens the card. Keep the ceremony block formal; the party blocks can loosen.
Ik Onkar
With the blessings of Waheguru
Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh
The Anand Karaj block
Name the gurudwara in full and state the time guests should be seated — the ceremony begins with the arrival of Guru Granth Sahib ji's hukam, not with the baraat.
Anand Karaj
Gurudwara Sahib, Civil Lines, Ludhiana
Saturday, 6 December — please be seated by 9:30 am
followed by Guru ka Langar
A line for the langar
"Followed by Guru ka Langar" is both an invitation to eat and a signal of the ceremony's rhythm. Include it — guests from other communities appreciate knowing.
