Walima invitation message: 15 short texts in Urdu, Roman Urdu and English

A Walima invitation message is the short text that travels with the card: the two or three lines you paste into WhatsApp, read out on a phone call, or print on a small insert. It is not the full card. For complete Walima card matter see Walima card wording, Dawat-e-Walima card in Urdu and Dawat-e-Walima card matter in English. Below are fifteen short messages, grouped by who will read them. Walima is also spelled Valima and Waleema; the Urdu is always ولیمہ.

What a short Walima message must carry

• Who is hosting: the groom's family, by name.
• Whose Walima: the groom and the bride.
• Day and date, written out; 'Sunday 14 December' is clearer than '14/12'.
• Time, and whether it is dinner.
• Venue, with the map link or the card link that has it.
• A hint about family: 'with family' or 'ahl-e-khana ke saath'.
• A way to confirm: a number, or the RSVP button on the card.
