Known sometimes as Vivaha in Sanskrit, or Lagna or Kalyanam is the Hindu marriage ceremony. The traditions are very colourful and can last for many days, with lots of music and food served, However the rituals do vary from regions and cultures even within India. Hindu wedding ceremony at its essence is a Vedic yajna ritual and three key rituals are applied at almost every culture: Kanyadan, Panigrahana, and Saptapadi—which are respectively, giving away of his daughter by the father, voluntarily holding hands near the fire to signify union, and taking seven ‘steps before fire’
Traditionally Indian wedding invitations have tended to be extremely brightly coloured, large and bulky invites, but there has been shift away from those and couples now preferring the more subtle coloured, floral, laser cut and vellum style invitations. Also keeping in mind that almost all invitations are now posted as opposed to being hand delivered and as such more post-friendly sizes have been sought.
