Invitation for matha taken ceremony before marriage of girl.
Here is a simple, respectful Jain-style invitation wording for a Matha takan (Matha-tan/tilak) ceremony that typically precedes the wedding ceremony for a girl. I’ve kept it plain and easy to read, with optional lines you can keep or omit.
Option A – concise card-friendly text
- With the blessings of our elders, we invite you to a traditional Matha-tan ceremony for our daughter
Option B – slightly fuller version
- In the grace of the Tirthankaras and the blessings of our elders, we request the pleasure of your company for the Matha-tan (tilak) ceremony of
Optional lines you can add
- If Digambar/Shwetambar differences matter to your family, you can add a short note:
- Dress code: “Traditional attire requested.”
- After-ceremony events: “Wedding ceremonies to follow on [Date] at [Time]” (if you want to link them in the same invitation).
Tips
- Include the exact name spellings of the bride and her parents to show respect.
- Mention any cultural specifics you follow (for example, if the ceremony is followed by a simple prayer, aarti, or a bhoj).
- If the same invitation will cover both Matha-tan and the wedding itself, you can add a line like: “Matha-tan will be followed by the main wedding rites on [Date] at [Time].”
If you’d like, tell me:
- the names to include (bride, parents, groom’s side if you want them in a joint card),
- the exact date, time, and venue,
- and whether you want English only or bilingual (Hindi/English) wording. I can tailor a finished text to fit your card size and design.
