If your wedding has religious significance, consider adding traditional religious symbols and mantras. Symbols like Om, Swastika, and Kalash, or mantras like "Om Shubh Mangal Saavdhan" or "Om Ganeshaya Namah" can make your e-invite feel sacred and respectful of Indian traditions.

Before sending out your e-invite, make sure to proofread everything. Check for typos and errors to avoid any last-minute issues. Send a test e-invite to yourself and a few close friends to ensure everything works perfectly. This step is crucial to making sure your invite looks and functions exactly as you want it to.
