Marriage Invitation Cards

You know love is in the air when Valentine's Day is just a few days away. The lovey-dovey time of the year when people feel the romance and the warmth that the day brings makes a lot of young hearts flutter. Life seems beautiful with romance in the surroundings which infatuates the lovelorn couples. With such onrush of felicity in the environment, people tend to get romantic and wish to cherish the feeling of having someone special in their lives. And that brings people to the most important decision of their lives; to get married. Every year we witness thousands of people saving Valentine’s Day as the day they want to tie the knot.  

However, if your wedding date is not in the month of February, you don’t have to lose heart as you can always resort to planning your wedding on the Valentine wedding theme. So, for all those who are getting married on 14th Feb and those who are not, valentine theme is the perfect way to celebrate the festival of love on your D day, with your twin flame.

Fun Wedding Transportation Ideas For Your Guests

Indian weddings are all about crazy antics and a lot of fun. Just like the Indian Wedding cards, Indian weddings have a lot of scope to do something amazing, fun and memorable at every ceremony. This time the ushering and transportation of guests caught our attention and we loved the way some ideas can make it loads of fun and frolic. Now Indians believe in “Atithi devo bhava” meaning guests are gods, and guests for a wedding are nothing short of the holy trinity! So making wedding special for them is of utmost importance whether it is their accommodation, food or vehicle.

If you are planning a wedding, do away with boring cars….if you really want to have them then go for vintage. At least a premium transport is sure to evoke some oohs and aahs from the mesmerised guests. Be innovative and opt for horse carriages. Be more innovative and get camel or ox carts, just like in villages! So that your guests are comfortable have mattresses in the cart along with luxurious cushions and bolsters. For the city folks, and ox cart is going to be a delightful experience. 

You can also hire a number of cycles with banners of the couple’s name and wedding. Decorate them with marigolds and super neon colours to add that quirky quotient to them. Let the guests who are willing make it to the main wedding venue by cycle. People hire buses for baraat, you can make it fun with insane messages on bride, groom and wedding. A double decker bus with open carriage is sure to be more popular than the conventional one. How about getting a tractor trailer to usher in your guests? It would definitely be more magnificent than the usual modes!

Weddings are all about getting creative and making heads turn. A lot of things are changing about the weddings in India. Compared to earlier times, weddings are less traditional and have a big fun element in them. There are also better arrangements considering professional services are available in this regard. We at KOC make shopping for Indian wedding invitation cards a lot of fun. Without stepping out of your home, you can buy Indian wedding cards online and what more, everyone in the family gets to join the fun of choosing the best!

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!

These days ‘save the date’ is trending big time, so a quirky save the date card along with the main wedding invitation card can be given. You can model this card like a calendar, tea coasters, Keychains or put it in a re-usable photo frame!

Sending stoles in traditional colours, wineor perfume minis is also a great way to impress your guests.

Just make sure you use vibrant colours to make the packaging look celebratory. Creating a basket to house Marriage Invitation Cards, sweets, chocolates and small gifts with a handwritten note is a wonderful way to say that you really want the recipients to be there on your special day.
