Questions we hear

Six matching event cards in order beside a sage pocket invitation for a Sikh and Punjabi wedding

“You were very helpful, responsive and understanding when it came to our designs and budgets. The product looked great and was described accurately.”

Mina and Sumer

What should be on a Sikh wedding invitation?

Ik Onkar at the head, then the names of both families and the couple, and the date, time and place of the Anand Karaj, followed by the reception details. Wording is often in English and Punjabi. We set the layout, your families approve the wording, and you check a proof of every piece.

Can you set wording in Punjabi script?

Yes, we can set Punjabi in Gurmukhi script beside English. Please bring the exact wording from your family, since we set text as supplied. We then ask someone who reads Gurmukhi to check the proof, because it is far easier to correct a word on screen than on paper.

Can you set wording in Punjabi script?

How do I invite guests to each function?

Use one main invitation for everyone and a separate card for each event, such as the jaggo, sangeet or reception, so guests see only the days they are asked to. We design the set together so every card matches, whether you post them together or in stages.

How do I invite guests to each function?

Can you post cards to relatives overseas?

Yes. Post cards to guests overseas 12 or more weeks before the wedding, and within Australia 8 to 10 weeks before. We confirm timing and postage with your quote. Tell us early how many relatives live abroad, and we can plan the sending order with you.

Can you post cards to relatives overseas?

Shall we design yours?

Designed and printed at our studio in Melbourne’s south-east (multiple locations), posted to your families.
