Do’s and Don’ts for Making Invitation Card 

When organising a Graha Pravesh pooja at your new home, it is very important to keep in mind the dos and don’ts. Before the rituals, one must take care of things, like house doors must be fitted with locks and shutters properly.

• You should make sure that the roof remains covered before the housewarming ceremony is performed.
• Vaastu Puja is done before the actual Griha Pravesh as mentioned earlier and idols must face the East.
• Furniture must not be shifted except gas cylinders before the Vastu Puja has been done.
• Holy water should be sprinkled with a mango leaf post the ceremony.
• The home should not be left vacant for a minimum of 3 days after the housewarming ceremony has been performed. 

Similarly, when printing invites for your party it is important to follow all the dos and don’ts so that everything in your gathering turns out to be perfect. A few things that one should keep in mind are as follows– 

DO’s

• Including an RSVP card at the end of an invitation is important. Having the knowledge of how many guests will actually be attending your event is vital to facilitate bookings and reservations.
• Double-check your address. 
• Be consistent with the wording in your invitations. 
• Always order extra envelopes when getting printed invites.
• While choosing your Griha Pravesh invitation card or planning your housewarming ceremony, remember that Ashadh (part June & July), Paush (part January and December), Bhadrapad (part September and August), and Ashwin (part October and September) are not auspicious muhurats.
• Use appropriate motifs like Swastika, goddess Lakshmi, banana leaves, mango leaves, rangolis, lotuses, diyas and potted Tulsi plant. 

DON’Ts

• Don’t leave invites for the last–making a guest list and finalising invites should be a priority task when you have to plan such a huge party. 
• Don’t set the RSVP date too close to the event.
• Don’t be vague about who all are invited. 

How to Make Your Invitation Card Digitally

As we know the global pandemic has shifted everything to the online medium. It is more likely to receive an e-invite over physical copies for any upcoming functions in your family

Digitally creating an invite can have its own perks, those being–

• Circulation – The image invite can very easily be forwarded to hundreds of contacts all at once. 
• Sustainable – You will be saving a ton of paper and ink just by going digital.
• Cost-efficient – Cost cutting down right if you opt for digital invitations rather than paper ones.
•  QR code location system – The guests will have to scan the QR code on their phone which will automatically show them the route to your home for easy and hassle-free navigation.
