Quick Answer

What should a griha pravesh invitation message say?

A griha pravesh invitation needs five things: the family name as host, the date, the muhurat time in *bold*, the full new address with a landmark, and what the guest is invited to — puja, lunch, or both. Keep it under ten lines, add 🏡🙏, and send it 7–10 days before with a personal first line for close relatives.

Griha Pravesh Invitation Message in Hindi & English: 40+ संदेश for WhatsApp

22 July 2026

Last updated:

What a Griha Pravesh Invitation Message Must Include

Five things, every time: who is inviting (family name, not just yours), the date, the muhurat time, the full new address, and what exactly the guest is invited to. That last one matters more than people think — puja at 8 AM and lunch at 12:30 are different invitations, and guests plan their day around which one they got.

Put the muhurat in bold — it is the one detail guests screenshot. On WhatsApp, wrap it in asterisks: *शुभ मुहूर्त: प्रातः 8:15 बजे*. Do the same for the address. Everything else can be plain text.

For the address: write it out in full with a landmark, because your invitation will be forwarded to spouses and drivers who never see your chat. Then send the Google Maps pin as the very next message. Text plus pin, always both.

One more reality check before the samples: almost every family runs two guest lists. A short puja list — parents, siblings, the closest friends, the people who will sit through the havan. And a longer meal list — neighbours, colleagues, the wider circle who come for lunch and to see the house. Write two messages. The samples below are grouped so you can pick one for each list.

Traditional Hindi Griha Pravesh Invitation Messages (गृह प्रवेश निमंत्रण)

These are for the family group, elders, and anyone who reads Hindi more comfortably than English. The register is respectful without being stiff — दिल से निमंत्रण, not government-circular Hindi. The first three open with a shloka, which elders genuinely notice and appreciate.

Shloka-opening versions

Hinglish Griha Pravesh Messages

Hinglish is the honest register for cousins, colleagues and society groups — it reads the way most of us actually talk. Keep the muhurat and address in bold, keep the tone light, and do not force shuddh Hindi words into an otherwise casual message.

🏡 *Griha Pravesh Invitation* 🙏

Bhagwan ki kripa se humara naya ghar ready hai — aur ab usme pehli puja aapke bina kaise hogi?

📅 Sunday, 17 August
🕗 *Muhurat: subah 8:30 baje*
🍽️ Lunch: 12:30 se
📍 Flat 1203, Lodha Park, Worli, Mumbai

Pure parivaar ke saath aaiye. Aapka aana hi sabse bada gift hai. 💐

📍 Flat 1204, Tower B (isi society mein!)

Bina formality ke aaiye — ghar ka mamla hai. 💐

*Kulkarni Family*

English — Formal Versions

For bosses, senior colleagues, and the WhatsApp contacts you address with a surname. Formal does not mean long — these stay under ten lines and still carry the muhurat and both timings.

🏡 *Griha Pravesh Invitation* 🙏

Dear Mr. & Mrs. Iyer,

With the blessings of our elders, we are moving into our new home, and it would be our honour to have you with us for the griha pravesh ceremony.

📅 Sunday, 17 August
🕗 *Puja muhurat: 8:30 AM*
🍽️ Lunch: 12:30 PM onwards
📍 Flat 1203, Lodha Park, Worli, Mumbai

We look forward to welcoming you and your family. 💐

Warm regards,
*The Mehta Family*

📅 Sunday, 24 August
🍽️ *Lunch: 12:30 PM onwards*
📍 A-503, Prestige Lakeside, Bellandur, Bengaluru (map pin to follow)

📅 *Saturday, 30 August*
🍽️ Lunch: 1:00 PM onwards
📍 Villa 23, Green Valley, Sector 45, Gurugram

No formalities, no gifts — just your good wishes. 🏡💐

*Amit Verma*

English — Warm & Casual Versions

For friends. Drop the ceremony language, keep the details. A joke about the EMI or the packing boxes does more for turnout than any amount of kindly-grace-the-occasion phrasing.

🏡 *We got the keys!* 🔑

After months of packing tape and paint samples, we are finally moving in — and the griha pravesh is this Sunday.

Puja happens in the morning with family. You come for the fun part:

🍽️ *Lunch, 12:30 onwards*
📅 Sunday, 17 August
📍 Flat 1203, Lodha Park, Worli

Come hungry, leave late. 💐
Hey! 🙏

Big news — new house, and the griha pravesh is on 24th. Would genuinely love to have you there.

📅 Sunday, 24 August
🕗 Puja: 8 AM (only if you enjoy early mornings)
🍽️ *Lunch: 12:30 — this one is mandatory* 😄
📍 A-503, Prestige Lakeside, Bellandur

Sending the map pin next. See you! 🏡💐
🏡✨ New home alert ✨🏡

We are doing the griha pravesh next Saturday and the house needs noise, laughter and your terrible jokes to feel lived-in.

📅 Saturday, 23 August
🕖 *Evening 7 PM onwards* — dinner and drinks
📍 B-71, Anand Vihar, Delhi

No puja for this batch, just the party. Bring nothing but yourselves. 💐
Hi hi 🙏

So… we moved! 🏡 The griha pravesh puja is Thursday morning, and then we are keeping the whole day open — people are dropping in for breakfast, lunch, chai, whatever works.

📅 Thursday, 28 August
🕖 Puja: 7:30 AM | ☕ Breakfast: 9 | 🍽️ Lunch: 12
📍 *Flat 902, Godrej Garden City, Ahmedabad*

Pick your slot, just come. 💐
🔑🏡 *From rent to home!*

The landlord era is officially over. Griha pravesh this Sunday — puja in the morning, open house all afternoon.

📅 Sunday, 31 August
🍽️ *12 noon onwards*
📍 402, Ganga Apartment, Alkapuri, Vadodara

Come see the house while it is still clean. This state will not last. 😄💐

Short 2-Line Versions

For the follow-up after a phone call, for the society group, or for anyone who will not read eight lines. Two lines, bold muhurat, address. These also work as WhatsApp Status posts.

🏡 *Griha Pravesh* — Sunday, 17 Aug, *muhurat 8:30 AM*, lunch 12:30 onwards. 🙏
📍 Flat 1203, Lodha Park, Worli — aap sapariwar aamantrit hain! 💐
🙏 हमारे नए घर का *गृह प्रवेश* — रविवार 24 अगस्त, *मुहूर्त प्रातः 8 बजे*, भोजन 12:30 से। 🏡

🏡 New home, first puja! *Griha pravesh on Thursday, 28 Aug, 7:30 AM*, lunch at 12. 🙏
📍 Flat 902, Godrej Garden City, Ahmedabad — you have to be there! 💐
🪔 *Griha Pravesh + Satyanarayan Katha* — Saturday 6 Sept, katha 5 PM, prasad & dinner 7:30. 🙏
📍 21, Rajouri Garden, Delhi. Sapariwar padhariye! 🏡
🔑 Naya ghar, pehli dawat! *Sunday 31 Aug, lunch 12 baje se.* 🏡
📍 402, Ganga Apartment, Alkapuri, Vadodara — no gifts, sirf aap. 💐

Puja + Lunch: The Two-Part Invitation

This is the format most families actually need. The puja list is small — the havan needs 20 people, not 200 — and the lunch list is everyone. Write it as one message with two clearly separated timings, or as two different messages for two different lists. Both patterns below.

🏡 *Griha Pravesh — Puja & Lunch* 🙏

We are moving into our new home and would love to have you with us.

🪔 *Puja & havan:* 8:00 – 10:30 AM (close family)
🍽️ *Lunch:* 12:30 – 3:00 PM (open house — come anytime)

📅 Sunday, 17 August
📍 Flat 1203, Lodha Park, Worli, Mumbai

Join us for whichever part suits you — or both! 💐

*The Mehta Family*
🙏 *गृह प्रवेश निमंत्रण* 🙏

प्रथम पूजन में आप जैसे अपनों की उपस्थिति अनिवार्य है — कृपया मुहूर्त पर अवश्य पधारें।

🪔 *पूजा एवं हवन: प्रातः 8:00 बजे*
🍽️ भोजन: दोपहर 12:30 बजे

📅 रविवार, 24 अगस्त
📍 A-503, प्रेस्टीज लेकसाइड, बेंगलुरु

हवन में आहुति आपके हाथों से हो, यही हमारी इच्छा है। 🏡💐

*नेहा एवं करण*
🏡 *You are invited — lunch at our new home!* 🍽️

The griha pravesh puja happens in the morning with family, and then the doors open for the people we love.

📅 Sunday, 24 August
🍽️ *Lunch: 12:30 to 3:00 PM*
📍 A-503, Prestige Lakeside, Bellandur, Bengaluru

Drop in anytime in that window — the food and the house tour are both waiting. 🙏💐

*Neha & Karan*

Notice the third sample never mentions the muhurat. That is deliberate — the lunch-list message should not carry the puja timing, or half your lunch guests will show up at 8 AM out of politeness and the other half will feel they skipped something.

Party-Only Versions (No Puja)

Some families do the puja privately weeks earlier, or skip it altogether, and just want a housewarming party. Say that plainly — guests dress and plan differently for a party than for a puja.

🏡🎉 *Housewarming Party!* 🎉🏡

The puja is done, the boxes are (mostly) unpacked — now the house needs a party.

📅 Saturday, 23 August
🕖 *7 PM onwards* — dinner, music, house tours
📍 B-71, Anand Vihar, New Delhi

Dress easy, come hungry. No gifts — your presence is the housewarming. 💐
🔑 *New house. Old friends. One evening.* 🏡

No puja, no rituals — just dinner at our new place and a lot of catching up.

📅 Friday, 29 August
🕗 *8 PM onwards*
📍 Villa 23, Green Valley, Sector 45, Gurugram

Parking inside the society — pin coming next. See you! 🎉
Naye ghar ki pehli party! 🎉🏡

Puja-path family ke saath ho gaya — ab dosto wala function hai. Khana, gaana, aur ghar ka grand tour.

📅 *Saturday, 30 August, shaam 7 baje se*
📍 H-34, Malviya Nagar, Jaipur

Gifts strictly mana hai. Bas aa jao. 😄💐

When the Son or Daughter-in-Law Is Hosting for Parents

Common situation: the house is in the parents' name, or the parents are moving in, and the children are doing the inviting. The message should put the parents front and centre — guests of that generation notice whose name leads.

🙏 *गृह प्रवेश निमंत्रण* 🙏

हमारे पूज्य माता-पिता *श्रीमती शारदा देवी एवं श्री रमेश चंद्र जी* के नए निवास का गृह प्रवेश हो रहा है।

📍 Bungalow 12, Saket Society, Kothrud, Pune

Unke chehre ki khushi dekhne zaroor aaiye. 💐

*Amit & Priya*

Vastu Shanti Mention Variants

In Maharashtra, Gujarat and much of the south, the function is announced as Vastu Shanti rather than griha pravesh — the havan for the vastu purush is the centre of the ceremony. If your panditji is doing a vastu shanti, name it in the message; guests from these communities know exactly what to expect.

🪔 *वास्तु शांति एवं गृह प्रवेश* 🪔

|| श्री गणेशाय नमः ||

हमारे नवनिर्मित निवास पर वास्तु शांति पूजन का आयोजन किया गया है। इस धार्मिक अनुष्ठान में आपकी उपस्थिति प्रार्थनीय है। 🙏

📅 रविवार, 7 सितंबर
🕖 *हवन प्रारंभ: प्रातः 7:00 बजे*
🍽️ महाप्रसाद: दोपहर 12:30 बजे
📍 बंगला 12, साकेत सोसाइटी, कोथरूड, पुणे

🍽️ Mahaprasad lunch: 12:30 PM

Join for the havan if you can, or come straight for lunch — both are open to you. 🪔💐

*The Kulkarni Family*
🪔 *Vastu Shanti & Griha Pravesh* 🪔

Naye ghar mein vastu shanti ka havan rakha hai — panditji ne muhurat subah ka diya hai, aur mahaprasad dopahar mein.

📅 Sunday, 7 September
🕖 *Havan: subah 7 baje*
🍽️ *Mahaprasad: 12:30 baje*
📍 Bungalow 12, Saket Society, Kothrud, Pune

Havan mein baithna ho toh subah aa jaiye, warna lunch pe milte hain. Dono mein aapka swagat hai. 🙏🏡💐

Reminder & Day-Before Messages

The reminder the evening before is what actually gets people to your door. Keep it short, repeat the muhurat and address, and re-send the map pin — nobody scrolls up ten days of chat looking for it. Send reminders individually or via broadcast list, never by forwarding your own invitation back into the group.

🙏 Kal ka reminder! 🏡

Kal hamara *griha pravesh* hai — aapka intezaar rahega.

🕗 *Muhurat: subah 8:30 baje* | 🍽️ Lunch: 12:30
📍 Flat 1203, Lodha Park, Worli

Map pin dobara bhej raha hoon agle message mein. Kal milte hain! 💐
🪔 *कल गृह प्रवेश है!* 🪔

स्नेहपूर्ण स्मरण — कल प्रातः हमारे नए घर की पूजा है।

🕗 *मुहूर्त: प्रातः 8:00 बजे*
🍽️ भोजन: दोपहर 12:30 बजे
📍 A-503, प्रेस्टीज लेकसाइड, बेंगलुरु

आपकी प्रतीक्षा रहेगी। 🙏🏡💐
Reminder for tomorrow! 🏡

*Griha pravesh lunch, 12:30 to 3 PM* — the house is ready, the food is ordered, only your presence is pending. 😄

📍 402, Ganga Apartment, Alkapuri, Vadodara (pin below 👇)

See you tomorrow! 🙏💐

When to Send, Who Gets a Call, and How to Send

Send the main invitation 7–10 days before. Griha pravesh dates get fixed by the panditji only a few weeks out, so nobody expects wedding-style notice — but under five days reads as an afterthought to anyone who has to arrange travel or leave.

Elders get a phone call plus the message. Not instead of — plus. The call carries the respect; the message carries the muhurat and address they will forget by evening. Call your tauji, then send the Hindi version so it sits in his chat. This one habit separates families that get full elder turnout from families that get polite excuses.

For everyone else: personal messages beat group blasts, and a broadcast list beats both a group and 60 manual sends. Change the first line per person — the name, one familiar reference — and keep the body identical. A message that opens with the guest's name gets replies; a forwarded-looking invite gets a thumbs-up emoji and no RSVP. If writing 40 personalised first lines sounds like a Saturday gone, the free housewarming invitation generator drafts personalised versions in Hindi or English in seconds.

Last thing: after the invitation, immediately send the map pin, and on the morning itself post a two-line reminder on your WhatsApp Status. Between the message, the pin, the call and the Status, nobody gets to say they did not know the way to your new home.

Generate a personalised version in seconds

Pick the message closest to your function, swap in your family name, muhurat and address, and send it with the map pin right behind. If you want versions written around your own details — your city, your timings, your mix of puja and party guests — the free generator drafts 6 personalised versions in Hindi or English in under a minute.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I invite everyone to the puja or just the meal?

Just the meal, for most people. The puja happens at the muhurat — often early morning — in a house that is not yet set up, so keep that list to family and the closest friends, usually 15–30 people. Everyone else gets invited to lunch or the evening get-together. Send two different messages: the puja message carries the muhurat time, the meal message only carries the meal time. Nobody feels excluded from a puja they never knew the timing of.

How do I share the new address cleanly?

Write the full address inside the invitation itself — flat number, building, road, area, city — plus one landmark people actually know. Then send the Google Maps pin as a separate message immediately after. Never rely on the pin alone: guests forward invitations to spouses and drivers, and a forwarded message without the pin strands people. Text address in the invite, pin right behind it.

What if the muhurat is very early morning?

Say so plainly and give people an out. Something like: the muhurat is at 6:40 AM — we understand it is early, so if mornings are hard, please join us for breakfast at 9 or lunch at 12:30. Guests appreciate the honesty, and you avoid half-hearted RSVPs. The people who matter for the puja will come at 6:40 regardless.

Should the invitation be in Hindi or English?

Match the reader, not the occasion. Grandparents, buas, mamas — Hindi in Devanagari, it lands as respect. Cousins and colleagues — Hinglish or English is fine. Many families send the Hindi version to the family WhatsApp group and an English one to office friends. Sending one language to everyone is the only real mistake.

How many days before should I send griha pravesh invitations?

7–10 days before for the main invitation, and a reminder the evening before. Griha pravesh dates are usually fixed by the panditji only a few weeks out, so nobody expects a month's notice. Less than 5 days feels last-minute for anyone who has to travel; more than two weeks and people forget. The day-before reminder with the address pin again is what actually gets people there.

Is a WhatsApp message enough, or do I need a printed card?

For a griha pravesh, WhatsApp is enough and is now the norm — this is a home function, not a wedding. Two exceptions: elders in the family should get a phone call in addition to the message, and if your community expects a physical invite for the family deity ritual, a handful of printed cards for the eldest relatives covers it. Everyone else reads it on their phone anyway.

Mayank Jaiswal founded Weddingkart to fix a problem Indian weddings have quietly accepted for decades: guest management is chaos. Paper lists, scattered WhatsApp groups, missed RSVPs, unclear headcounts for the caterer, and an event manager drowning in follow-ups the week of the wedding. Weddingkart turns all of that into a single WhatsApp-native workflow — invites, RSVPs, travel and ID collection, real-time updates — so couples and their planners actually know what’s going on.

Before Weddingkart, Mayank spent over a decade building consumer internet products in India. At Nykaa he was named the company’s first Distinguished Engineer — its highest individual-contributor role — after leading engineering there as Director. He drove architecture on the Retina platform team and led the Nysaa UAE migration off Shopify onto Nykaa’s infrastructure. Earlier in his career he was part of the engineering team at Saavn during its growth years. He brings that operational, at-scale thinking into an industry that is still, for the most part, run on spreadsheets.

He lives in Gurugram with his wife Sushmita and their son Vigya.
