Tips for sending on WhatsApp
- Start with Salam and the person's name. A personal message feels like a real invitation, not a forward.
- Keep it to 3 or 4 lines and put the link at the end.
- Send to each family separately, not in a big group. Elders especially notice this.
- Call the elders as well. For close family, a phone call is still expected in most homes.

Is it OK to invite people only on WhatsApp?
For most guests, yes, it is now normal. For elders and very close family, also give a phone call or visit.
How do I know who opened the card?
On ApniDawat each guest has their own link, so your dashboard shows who opened the card, who replied and who did not.
