Muslim Wedding & Nikah Invitation Examples

Elegant nikah invitation examples, Arabic verses, and Muslim wedding card wording that guests will treasure — ready to adapt for your digital invitation.

The grace of a nikah invitation

A Muslim wedding invitation typically opens with the Bismillah, honours the families, and invites guests to the nikah and the walima (reception). Its register is reverent and warm — the hospitality of the home extended to the guest. A digital card carries that warmth while adding RSVP, venue maps and a schedule for the two ceremonies.

Opening with the Bismillah

Most nikah cards begin with the sacred opening, and it is customary not to change the verse. On your card, place it at the top of the invitation, then move straight to the couple's names.

  • "بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ" (Bismillah-ir-Rahman-ir-Raheem) — “in the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.”

Nikah invitation wording examples

These wordings work for both the elegant printed page and a digital nikah invitation. Replace the bracketed names with your family's details.

  • "With the blessings of Allah (SWT), Mr. and Mrs. [Groom's father] request the honour of your presence at the nikah ceremony of their son [Groom] with [Bride], daughter of Mr. and Mrs. [Bride's father]."
  • "[Groom] & [Bride], together with their families, joyfully invite you to their nikah — [date] at [masjid/venue]. Walima to follow on [date]."
  • "The pleasure of your company is requested at the nikah of [Groom] and [Bride]. After nikah, dinner will be served."

Adding the walima and RSVP

Many Muslim weddings have a nikah and a separate walima reception, sometimes days apart. Put both on the card with clear dates, times and venues so guests plan correctly. Finish with a RSVP line and, on a digital card, a confirmation button — it makes planning seating and dinner far easier for the family.

Design notes for Muslim wedding invitations

Elegant, minimal designs with ivory, gold and deep green tend to suit nikah cards best. Because MyCAARDS templates are fully editable, you can keep the clean lines, set your own couple photos and still hold the Bismillah and ceremony details in the traditional order.
