What should a barat card say?

The names of the couple, who is inviting, the date, day and time, and the venue — plus an RSVP name or number. In Urdu, the details traditionally follow the pattern بروز (day), بتاریخ (date), بوقت (time) and بمقام (venue).

How early should I send the barat invitation?

Three to four weeks before is usual for guests in the same city, and six to eight weeks for anyone who has to travel. A WhatsApp reminder two or three days before helps.
