Complete Guide to Gujarati Wedding Invitation Wording
The heart of a Gujarati wedding invitation (Kankotri) lies not just in its design, but in its words. The traditional Tahuko—a short, poetic couplet—sets the tone for the celebration, invoking blessings from the Almighty and inviting loved ones with warmth.
Whether you are designing a physical card or a Digital Kankotri, choosing the right wording is essential. Here is our curated collection of timeless Gujarati wedding wording samples.
The Structure of a Kankotri
A traditional Gujarati Kankotri typically follows this structure:
- Ganesh Sthapana (Shree Ganeshaye Namah): Always invoking Lord Ganesha first.
- The Tahuko: A poetic opening verse.
- The Host Line: "Mr. & Mrs. [Name] invite you..."
- The Couple: "Priye [Groom] weds [Bride]"
- Event Details: Mandap Muhurat, Ganesh Sthapana, Hast Melap.
- Venue & RSVP: Clear location and contact details.
Popular Gujarati Tahukos (Couplets)
1. The Classic Welcome
"રુડો અવસર આવ્યો આંગણે, ગુંજે શરણાઈના સૂર, આપની ઉપસ્થિતિ થી વધશે, અમારા પ્રસંગ નું નૂર."
Translation: A beautiful occasion has arrived at our doorstep, with melodies of the Shehnai. Your presence will add to the glow of our celebration.
2. For the Beloved Daughter (Dikri)
"દીકરી તો છે તુલસીનો ક્યારો, સાસરીયે સીદાવશે રાખી આશરો, આંગણું અમારું સુનું કરીને, પંખી ઉડી જશે છોડીને માળો."
Translation: A daughter is like a sacred Tulsi plant... She leaves our courtyard empty as she flies from her nest to her new home.
3. Invoking Blessings
"સ્નેહ ના સાથિયા પુરાવજો, હૈયા ના હેત વરસાવજો, આ રુડા અવસરે, આશીર્વાદ આપવા જરૂર પધારજો."
Translation: Draw the patterns of affection, shower the love of your hearts. On this auspicious occasion, please come to bestow your blessings.
