Take your Engagement Out!

Gone are the days when the limelight used to be only on the main wedding day. Now, the couples and their families strive to make all pre-wedding functions including engagement a grand affair to remember. Right from Ring ceremony invitation card to décor and menu is intricately designed, planned and executed. Thus it comes as no surprise that we are seeing bigger and better engagment ceremonies and parties. One trend that is doing rounds these days is the love for outdoors. And these outdoors are far from city traffic amidst green havens that border on rural and forest. Make your engagement a memorable one by taking it out in the open!

When the engagement is in woods there is a lot you can do. Especially if your engagement happens to be around dusk, then lighting can create a mesmerising effect. To help all that is loads of trees standing around! Hang unconventional pieces like glass kettles, globes or even tiny bulbs from the trees to give a spectacular effect. Overload one central tree with dazzling lights under which the cake cutting and ring ceremony can take place. If it is a day engagement then you can set up pretty gazebos all around. Curtain falling from the branches give that ethereal effect and when they enclose a seating arrangement, it is one sight to die for.

Add swings with flower garlands tied to them. If you happen to have a small water body in the property, hire a small paddle boat for guests to enjoy on. Keep the feel of the décor a liitle rustic with  irregular wooden boards showing the directions to venue and simple wood garden benches for everyone to sit on. Creating seating space on the ground will add that bohemian wild touch absolutely natural to the surroundings. For the couple we have one tip on this fun day. Keep your clothing comfortable since you are vulnerable to natural elements here. For thanking your guests, have some organic and natural thank you gifts. These could be a goodie bag of grooming products, bath products, combination of green teas etc.

Just like engagement invitation Cards  the possibilities for an engagement party are many. We at KOC create all our Indian Invitation cards with Indian sensibilities and tastes. Whether it is a traditional card or a contemporary one, we craft all our cards with lot of care and love!

Welcoming The Bride Into Her New Home- Grihapravesh

A Hindu wedding may last only for a few hours but the pre-wedding and post-wedding ceremonies last for days together. Of course all these rituals hold special importance and are followed to the hilt. There is one notable custom called “Grihapravesh” where bride is welcomed into her new home. In fact one can find the mention of this ceremony in bridegroom’s Indian Marriage Invitation card. It usually is a grand ceremony as the baraat returns home with the newly wedded couple.

In the Hindu culture, bride is considered to be the embodiment of goddess Lakshmi. Her welcome and first step into her husband’s household is celebrated with a number of rituals and ceremonies. Different regions have different ways to welcome the goddess of wealth and prosperity in their homes and the glimpses of this ceremony are being given right here.

Mother of the groom welcomes the couple as she performs aarti with diyas, kumkum, sweets and rice as they stand at the door. She applies kumkumtika on bride and groom’s forehead. A kalash full of rice is placed at the entrance which the bride pushes with toes of her right foot. Rice thus gets strewn into the house which is considered auspicious and symbolises that prosperity has entered the house. In many cultures, a big vessel with kumkum paste is placed at the door. The bride steps into the paste and then walks into the house leaving the red impression of her feet trailing on the floor. In some cultures, she also smears her hands with kumkum paste and then presses them around the walls in the house creating impressions of her palms.

There are small nuances associated with this ceremony. For e.g. the bride must enter the house by placing her right foot inside first.  In some states, bride is required to utter her husband’s name while entering her in-law’s home. Just like the wedding ceremony an auspicious time is taken out for this ceremony as well. In many homes Grihapravesh is closely followed by MoohDikhayi. This ceremony used to be very important in olden days as no one would have seen the bride until then. In this ritual, all women see the bride’s reflection in the mirror and shower her with gifts!

Tilak- Amongst the first of many ceremonies to come

A Hindu wedding is conglomeration of various events and ceremonies. In older times, wedding meant celebrations spread over weeks but the toils of our times have turned weeks into days. The advent of a big fat Hindu wedding is marked by Tilak Ceremony. The relatives of the bride take Shagunin form of clothes, jewellery, fruits, sweets and loads of dry fruits to the groom’s home. This ceremony is widely observed in all of India; It is known as Pottu in Tamil and Malayalam, Teep in Bengali and Chenkai in some Castes.

The main ceremony has bride’s brother or father smearing tilak on Bridegroom’s forehead over a small havan. A specially prepared thali is also used to perform the aarti of Bridegroom. This function consecrates the upcoming marriage and seals the agreement of wedding between the families. However, you can find various minor differences in this ceremony from caste to caste and state to state.In earlier days, women were barred from this event but not today. In fact it is celebrated with a lot of pomp and show now. Stunning decorations and a huge feast is arranged at the groom’s end for this particular function. You can also find a large number of guests invited to this event these days.

We at KOC, have a wide array of Indian invitation Cards that can be used as invite to theTilak ceremony. Usually Wedding Cards mention Tilak ceremony, but you can have a separate invite forTilak and this way the Marriage Invitation card can remain exclusive. Amongst the Indian Invitation Cards it is customary to have a very rich and luxurious invite for wedding and little subdued one for other pre-wedding ceremonies like Tilak, god bharayi, sangeet and Mehendi. Some families prefer to have all these ceremonies included in the main wedding card itself.

Tilak ceremony marks the beginning of an auspicious bond not only between two individuals but also two families. This ceremony reflects the respect and blesses the families with a long lasting prosperity and happiness for life. A holy ceremony for the bonds of lifetime indeed!
