Ceremony, reception, optional rehearsal dinner
Christian wedding invitation cards online
Christian wedding invitations defaulting to 1 Corinthians 13 and the church + reception structure.
Christian wedding invitations on Zawaaj default to a wedding-ceremony + reception structure, with rehearsal-dinner as the optional third event. The opening verse defaults to 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 — the 'Love is patient, love is kind' passage most-read across Christian wedding ceremonies. The opening eyebrow reads 'In His Name'. The closing blessing reads 'May the Lord bless and keep this union — and grace it with love, peace, and joy.' Parentage prefixes use the unabbreviated 'Son of' / 'Daughter of' form rather than the South-Asian 'S/o' / 'D/o' that defaults on Muslim, Hindu, and Sikh invitations.

Questions
What people ask
- What's the default opening verse?
- 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 — the 'Love is patient, love is kind' passage most-read across Christian wedding ceremonies, denominationally safe. Hosts pick from the curated Christian verse library (Bible-only by default; ecumenical openings available via the show-all toggle).
- Does the platform handle the rehearsal dinner?
- Yes. Rehearsal dinner is an optional first-class event type on Christian invitations. It renders the night-before with its own venue + dress code + RSVP, separate from the ceremony.
- Is the parentage line in the South-Asian 'S/o' / 'D/o' form?
- No. Christian invitations use 'Son of' and 'Daughter of' (unabbreviated). The form reads better in the editorial register Christian templates carry, and matches the convention many Indian Christian families use.
- Can I render a dry-event note for the reception?
- Yes. Each event's culturalAttributes.dryEvent toggle surfaces a 'Dry event — no alcohol served' line. Christian preset shows this toggle by default in the events editor.
