In short
Walima is the feast that follows the nikah, hosted with joy and generosity. Its card should feel like a warm welcome to the table.
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
Walima is the reception feast hosted by the groom's family after the nikah, a celebration of the new marriage shared with family, friends, and the wider community. It is often the largest event of a Muslim wedding, and its guest list is usually the widest.
Walima wording is gracious and generous in tone. It thanks guests for their prayers, invites them to dinner, and names the couple and both families. Because the guest list is wide, the details must be complete and easy to follow.
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 formal walima card naming both families.
- A combined nikah and walima card for guests invited to both.
- A short WhatsApp message with the invite link for the wider circle.
- A dinner focused card that highlights the feast and the timings.
Wording examples
- Gracious: With gratitude for your prayers and love, we invite you to the walima reception of our children. Dinner and celebrations follow.
- Warm: The nikah is blessed, and now we feast together. Join us at the walima for dinner, music, and good company.
- Short: Walima reception, Sunday evening. Dinner and celebrations. Details inside.
Style tips
Walima design suits deep burgundy, blush, and gold, or green and gold to match the nikah card. An arch frame ties the two cards together as a set. Keep the dinner timing prominent, since guests plan their evening around it.
Walima is generosity made visible, and the card should welcome every guest to the table.
What you need

How to share it
- Open your finished invitation on your own phone and check every event, venue, and name.
- Send it first to one family member and ask them to confirm the link opens cleanly.
- 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.
What it costs
If price matters to your choice, MyIndiAura keeps it simple with three options. The Cinematic Invite costs ₹499 and is the flagship animated invitation. The Invite App costs ₹399.
