Wedding Invitation WhatsApp Message in Nepali: How to Send Your Bihe ko Card
What to write when you send your bihe ko card on WhatsApp or Viber: invitation messages in Nepali and English for elders, relatives and friends, plus reminders and thank-you notes.

Most families in Nepal now send the bihe ko card on WhatsApp or Viber, even when they also print a few copies for elders. The card itself carries the formal wording. What many people get stuck on is the message that goes with it: how to invite an uncle respectfully, a college friend casually, and a colleague politely, all in one evening.
This guide covers that message, plus reminders and thank-you notes. For the wording printed on the card itself, see the Nepali wedding card wording guide.
Why the message matters
A card forwarded with no words can feel like a mass message. A short personal line turns it into an invitation. It also answers the questions people ask straight away: whose wedding, which day, and do you need a reply.
Sending your bihe ko card to elders
For parents’ friends, grandparents and senior relatives, keep it respectful and in Nepali. A phone call first, followed by the card, is still the most polite way for the closest elders.

Message for relatives abroad
Relatives in the Gulf, Malaysia, Australia, the UK or the US may not be able to travel, but they still want to be invited properly.

When to send the bihe ko card
- Close family and elders: call first, then send the card, about four to six weeks before.
- Everyone else: three to four weeks before, once the venue and saait are fixed.
- Colleagues: two to three weeks before.
Send in small batches rather than a broadcast to hundreds of people, so each person gets a personal line.
Reminder messages
A reminder three or four days before, and again on the morning of the wedding, is common and welcome.
सम्झना: हाम्रो बिहे यही शनिबार। जन्ती बिहान १० बजे प्रस्थान। नक्सा कार्डमा छ: [link]
Reminder: reception tonight from 6 PM at Hotel Himalaya. Map on the card: [link]. See you there!
Chasing RSVPs politely
नमस्ते! खाना र बसाइको व्यवस्था मिलाउँदैछौं। आउन मिल्छ कि मिल्दैन, कार्डमा एकपटक थिचिदिनुहोला? [link] धन्यवाद!
Thank-you message after the wedding
हाम्रो बिहेमा आएर आशीर्वाद दिनुभएकोमा हृदयदेखि धन्यवाद। हजुरहरूको मायाले हाम्रो दिन अझ विशेष बन्यो। – सीता र राम
Sending to a group vs one by one
Posting the card in a big family group is quick, but elders may feel it is not a proper invitation. A good rule: send to close family and elders one by one with a personal line, and use groups only for friends, colleagues or distant relatives who already expect it.
A card that does the follow-up for you
A digital wedding invitation with RSVP means every guest replies on the card itself and you see the list on your dashboard, instead of reading hundreds of chat replies. You can make your बिहेको कार्ड in Nepali, or browse wedding card templates for every tradition, then send the same link with any message above.
