Enclosure Etiquette for Indian Wedding Cards

According to a recent survey, an average Indian wedding costs £17,000, said Indian newspaper The Hindu. The cost primarily includes the venue rental, invitations, wedding clothes, food and decoration. When it comes to spending a luxurious amount on Indian wedding cards, it is important that the essential details are meticulously covered in the invites. There is proper enclosure etiquette that can not only help you estimate the number of guests to expect and plan the wedding accordingly, but also adds to the overall appearance of the invites.

Indian Wedding Cards: Types of Enclosures You Should Include

Given below is comprehensive information regarding the enclosures that Indian wedding cards enclosures should have to help you plan the event better and to leave a lasting impression on the invitees:


  • RSVP cards
    Attached to the Indian wedding cards, RSVP cards is ideally sent with the postage stamp affixed to the envelop carrying the address of the host. Guests fill up these with the confirmation of their attendance, allowing the host to prepare for their arrival well in advance. Sometimes, the host can also ask the guests’ meal preferences, such as vegan, vegetarian, non-vegetarian, kosher, etc, as well as preferences regarding alcoholic beverages and so on, through these enclosures.

  • Reception cards etiquette
    Often, the reception does not follow immediately after the wedding ceremony in India. Couples like to rest for a day or two before they organize a reception party. Therefore, it is only fair that you attach an additional reception invite. Extra information, such as whether it is only a cocktail and cake party or dessert and dancing party, etc, can be conveniently mentioned in a separate card without awkwardly accommodating such information in the main invitation.

  • Pew cards etiquette
    If you have planned for organized seating for the guests, you may want to inform them about their seat location with specific pew cards. Guests can show these cards to the ushers, who will seat them accordingly. Alternatively, you can place cards to adorn specific tables of different guests with their names.

  • Enclosures for outdoor weddings
    Rain cards are ideally sent to direct the guests to an alternative location in the event of rain. Transportation cards are attached to Indian wedding cards when guests are to be directed to the hotel or any other venue in a destination wedding.
Consult an experienced retailer to find out more about enclosures that assist you in informing guests about the details of the event. However, whatever cards you add to the invitation, make sure they are designed in with latest styles, embellishments, printing, etc.
