Wedding invitations with the bride and groom mentioning “Sharma ji ki Ladki (Sharma’s daughter)” and “Gopal ji ka Ladka (Gopal’s son)” have taken Indians by storm with their witty and light-heartedness. Wedding traditions. It is unclear whether this is a genuine invitation or a sarcastic take on the tradition. The invitation in question eschews the usual flowery language, and instead, roasts social norms, family dynamics, and specific behaviors of guests.
The card opens with an angry request for the guests’ presence. It says, “Aapki presentee ki hamari shaadi mein bohat zarurat hai kyunki aap na aaye to hamari shaadi mein khane ki burai kaun karega (Your presence in marriage is very important, if not for you, who will shout about its quality. Food served) .”
The bride, who is described as “sharp in studies (studious)” is paired with the groom, who is said to be “B.Tech Karke Dukan Sambhalata Hua (A person who manages the family business after a B.Tech degree). “Marriage date, January 5, 2025, another for readers. is a joke, described as “selected by 3 scholars”. Convenient time to avoid child’s exam dates.
The humor doesn’t stop there. A reception invitation labeled “Reception Ka Drama” asks guests to attend, but says, “Shaadi Ka Hangover Abhi Khatam Nahi Hua Hai (The wedding hangover is not over yet).” To prevent chaos, the card asks parents to manage their children because “itna mehenga stage un khel maidan nahi hai (Such an expensive wedding stage is not their playground).” And as a courtesy to avoid waste, it reminds guests, “Khane khake jana, par sirf ek baar – Rs 2,000 plate ki daar hai yaar (Please don’t leave without eating, and that too, just once, it’s Rs 2,000 per plate) .”
The invitation also delves into specific family dynamics, referring to the bua-fufaji duo (father and husband) as the “in-house kalesh experts (the stammerers)”. Guests are politely asked not to bring gifts, with a direct request of “Google Pay or cash only,” as the couple already has enough “7 dinner sets and 20 photo frames.”
