In short
Tilak is the groom's honour, marked with a tilak and gifts from the bride's family. Its card should feel dignified and warm.
This guide gives you ready wording, design ideas, and a simple checklist, so your invitation is done in one sitting.
With MyIndiAura, the same invitation can carry every event, every venue, and an RSVP, and it travels on WhatsApp in one tap.
What it means
Tilak is the ceremony where the bride's family visits the groom's home, applies a tilak to his forehead, and presents gifts and shagun. It is a mark of respect and acceptance, and it is often one of the first formal meetings between the families.
Tilak cards are usually sent by the groom's family or jointly, and they carry a respectful tone. The design should feel traditional and grounded: deep colours, gold accents, and a clear statement of the occasion.
What your invitation can do
A MyIndiAura invitation is built for a real wedding week, so it carries more than a single card can. It opens with an animated welcome that sets the mood before any detail appears.
It holds every event in one place, each with its own date, time, and venue, so guests never juggle separate cards. It shows venue details and directions, so out of town guests find their way without a follow up call.
It collects RSVPs, so you know who is coming without chasing replies across groups. It holds photos of the couple and the family, and it shares on WhatsApp in one tap, which is how most guests receive it today.
Options to consider
- A traditional card in deep burgundy and gold.
- A classic card with a diya or tilak mark motif.
- A joint family card naming both families.
- A digital card with the tilak details on one clear screen.
Wording examples
- Respectful: With folded hands and grateful hearts, we invite you to the tilak ceremony of our son. Your blessings will honour the occasion.
- Simple: Tilak ceremony. A mark of respect, a shower of blessings, and a celebration of two families coming together.
Style tips
Tilak design suits deep burgundy, warm ivory, and antique gold. A diya motif fits naturally, and a restrained border keeps the card dignified. Avoid bright party colours here; this ceremony is about respect, and the design should say so quietly.
Tilak is about respect, and the card should say so quietly, with dignity in every line.

- Share it in family groups with a short personal line, not just the link on its own.
- Send a separate short message to elders, with the date, time, and venue written out in the message itself.
- Send one gentle reminder the day before the event, and no more.
