For couples across the Malabar coast
Custom wedding invitations in Kerala
Multi-faith, multi-event invitations that respect the way Kerala weddings actually run.
A Kerala wedding rarely sits inside a single afternoon. The Mappila Muslim communities of Malabar host valakkappura and nikah on different days. Syrian Christian and Latin Catholic ceremonies are split between church and reception in different towns. Hindu Nair and Ezhava weddings carry their own multi-evening sequence. Zawaaj invitations are built around that rhythm — one card per couple, every event with its own venue, dress code, and RSVP, sent over WhatsApp the way families here actually share.
Cultural fit
Five cultural presets ship live (Muslim, Christian, Hindu, Sikh, Custom) and the Hindu preset has a north / south region toggle so Tamil-Malayali and North-Indian-Malayali couples are not pushed onto the same fixture. The Muslim preset defaults to Bismillah opening, Hijri date display, optional segregated-seating note, and the nasheed audio control.

Questions
What people ask
- Do Zawaaj invitations work for Mappila Muslim weddings in Kerala?
- Yes. The Muslim preset (default) opens with Bismillah, optionally surfaces the Hijri date alongside the Gregorian date, supports the valakkappura → mehndi → nikah → walima event sequence, and carries a quiet segregated-seating note when the host turns it on. The default template (Mehndi Green) uses the deep emerald + cream + gold palette common to Malabar wedding stationery.
- Can I send Kerala Christian (Syrian / Latin Catholic) invitations?
- Yes. The Christian preset defaults to a wedding ceremony + reception structure, with rehearsal-dinner as an optional third event. The opening verse defaults to 1 Corinthians 13:4-8. Garden Pastel and Ivory & Gold are the recommended templates for the Christian register.
- How are invitations sent — printed or digital?
- Digital. Each invitation lives at a unique URL (zawaaj.in/your-couple-name, or your own custom subdomain after the ₹1,000 upgrade). You share a personalized WhatsApp link per guest. Guests RSVP from their phone; you export attendee headcounts as CSV for the caterer.
- Is there a cost to start?
- No. The free tier covers a full invitation with up to 100 invitees, all events you need, every free template, and the RSVP system. Premium templates (₹500), custom subdomain (₹1,000), and bundled packs are optional upgrades. See /pricing.
