What's included

What the Sikh Vibrant template fills in for you

Ik Oankaar, a welcome message, the four Laavan and seven functions are ready — you add names, times and venues.

Blessing at the top

ੴ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ॥

Ik Oankaar Satgur Prasaad — One Creator, known by the True Guru's grace.

Functions pre-listed
  • Sehaj Path Bhog
  • Mehndi & Sangeet
  • Maiyan
  • Jaggo
  • Chooda & Kalire
  • Anand Karaj
  • Reception

Each has its own date, time, venue, address, Google Maps link and an “at home” switch. Turn off any function you aren't hosting.

Welcome message

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh! With the blessings of Waheguru and the love of our families, we invite you to the Anand Karaj of our children. Your presence will make our joy complete.

Closing message

Your presence and blessings will make our Anand Karaj complete. We can't wait to celebrate with you!

Both messages are pre-written — keep them or rewrite them in your own words.

Why a Sikh template

What a Sikh wedding invitation has to get right

The Anand Karaj isn't an evening event at a banquet hall — and guests used to those need clear guidance.

  • The ceremony is in the morning

    Guests used to late-night weddings arrive after the Laavan if the morning time isn't impossible to miss.

  • Two venues on the same day

    The Anand Karaj is at the Gurdwara, the reception somewhere else that evening — one address can't cover both.

  • Guests should know Gurdwara etiquette

    Heads covered, shoes off, langar after the ceremony — first-time guests appreciate knowing before they arrive.

With Shaadi Invitation

Clear timings, two pins and a note for guests

  • Ik Onkar and a welcome message already in place
  • Sehaj Path Bhog, Mehndi & Sangeet, Maiyan, Jaggo, Chooda & Kalire, Anand Karaj and Reception listed
  • The Gurdwara and the reception venue, each with a map
  • Etiquette notes in your own words in the welcome message
  • Call buttons for both families
Sikh wedding functions

Sikh wedding functions — and how each fits on your invite

The functions of a Sikh wedding in the order many Punjabi families hold them. Template functions get their own card; the rest fit in your welcome message.

  • In Sikh Vibrant — a ready function card with date, venue and map
  • Mention in your message — add its timing to your welcome message
  1. 1. Roka & Kurmai

    Mention in your message

    The families accept the match, then the engagement (kurmai or shagun), often with ardaas at home or the Gurdwara.

  2. 2. Path at home

    In Sikh Vibrant

    An Akhand Path or Sukhmani Sahib Path at home or the Gurdwara before the wedding, followed by langar.

    Listed as “Sehaj Path Bhog” — rename it for an Akhand Path or Sukhmani Sahib.

  3. 3. Maiyan & Vatna

    In Sikh Vibrant

    Turmeric and gram-flour paste (vatna) for the bride and groom at their homes in the days before.

    In Sikh Vibrant

    On the wedding morning the bride's maternal uncles give her the red chooda; kalire are tied to her bangles.

Wording

Sikh wedding invitation wording you can use

Copy a line into your welcome or closing message — Gurmukhi, Punjabi, English or a mix.

  • Ik Onkar

    ੴ ਸਤਿ ਨਾਮੁ

    Ik Onkar Sat Naam — One Creator, whose Name is Truth.

  • Welcome message (English)

    With the blessings of Waheguru and our elders, the Gill family invites you to the Anand Karaj of their daughter Simran with Harpreet, son of Mr. and Mrs. Sandhu.

  • Timing line

    Milni at 9:00 AM, followed by the Anand Karaj at 10:00 AM at Gurdwara Sahib, Model Town. Langar will be served after the ceremony.

  • Punjabi (Roman)

    Tuhanu saadar sadda hai — saade parivar di khushi vich shaamil hovo ji.

    “You are warmly invited — please join our family's joy.”

  • Etiquette note

    Please cover your head inside the Gurdwara Sahib; rumals will be available at the entrance.

  • Closing (template)

    Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh! Your blessings mean the world to us.

    The Sikh Vibrant template's own closing — keep it or change it.

Names, places and times in these samples are placeholders — replace them with your own.

Inside the template

Made for Anand Karaj invitations

A morning ceremony, an evening reception and two families — all on one page.

Path to Reception

Seven functions ready to fill in — each in its own colours, with its own time, venue and map.

The Gurdwara, pinned

Guests tap once to navigate to the right Gurdwara.

Gurmukhi welcome

Ik Oankaar opens it — write the rest in your words.

Path or Jaggo at home

Mark home functions and add the address.

Both families

One or more numbers for each side.

Who it suits

Sikh weddings this template is made for

  • Gurdwara ceremony, banquet reception

    The morning Anand Karaj and the evening party each get their own card and map.

  • Families in India and abroad

    Relatives in Canada, the UK or Australia open the same link — with times you can mark as IST.

  • Functions at home

    Path, Jaggo or Mehndi at home — switch on “at home” and add your address.

Guest notes

Notes worth adding to an Anand Karaj invite

Write them into your welcome message — guests read it before the function list.

  • Covering the head

    Everyone covers their head inside the Gurdwara Sahib. A short note — and whether rumals will be available — helps first-time guests.

  • Shoes and seating

    Shoes are left outside and guests sit on the floor in the darbar hall. Worth mentioning for elders and guests from other traditions.

  • Milni, ardaas and Laavan times

    Put the Anand Karaj time on its card, and the Milni time in your message so guests come early enough.

  • Langar after the ceremony

    Let guests know langar follows the Anand Karaj, so they plan to stay — the reception has its own card and map.
