Navratri garba & dandiya night invitation ideas
Nine nights, one circle, and a guest list that keeps growing. A good Navratri invite does two jobs: it makes people excited to come, and it tells them exactly where, when and what to wear so you’re not answering the same five questions on WhatsApp all week.
Here’s what to include, wording you can copy, and a way to send one invite that greets every guest by name — and tells you who’s actually coming.
In this post (5 parts)
What every garba night invite should include
- Event name — “Garba Night at the Mehtas”, “Society Dandiya 2026”.
- Date and start time — and an end time if the society has rules.
- Venue with a map link. Saves twenty “where is it?” messages.
- Dress code — traditional, a colour of the day, or “chaniya choli & kediyu encouraged”.
- Dandiya sticks — will you provide them, or should guests bring their own?
- Food — dinner, snacks, or just prasad.
- A contact number for questions.
- RSVP — even a simple “reply with how many are coming” helps with food and space.
Invitation wording you can use

For someone special
Nine nights, one circle — and I only want to dance it with you. Ek raas, mere saath?
A digital invite with every guest’s name on it
A forwarded image gets lost in the group chat. A personal invite gets opened.
With DilSeCraft Festival Invites you fill in your party once — date, venue, dress code, your photos — then add guest names. Every guest gets their own link that opens with their name, like “Dear Riya, you’re invited”. You can see who opened it and who’s coming, and add guests right up to the day.
- Single invite — one link with one guest’s or family’s name.
- Unlimited guests — a link for every guest, with RSVPs.
Share each link on WhatsApp in seconds, and stop chasing replies.
Inviting just one person?
If the guest list is really one person — a partner, a crush — make it a gift rather than an invite. Our Raas Night is a dandiya invitation made for two: both your names, nine little moments on the dandiya ring, your memory wall, and one last round of the circle.
Our Raas Night
For one special person: a dandiya invitation with both your names, nine beats for nine nights and your memory wall.
Hosting tips
- Send invites 5–7 days ahead, and a reminder the morning of.
- Mention parking — it decides whether older relatives come.
- Keep spare dandiya sticks for guests who forget.
- Plan a 10-minute aarti before the music starts.
- Keep water and something sweet near the circle.
Questions people ask
What should I write in a Navratri invitation?
Include the event name, date and time, venue with a map link, dress code, whether dandiya sticks are provided, food, a contact number and how to RSVP — plus a warm line inviting them to celebrate together.
How do I send a garba night invitation on WhatsApp?
Send a short message with a link to a digital invite that has all the details. Personalised invite links with each guest’s name get opened more than forwarded images.
Can I track who is coming to my garba night?
Yes. With a digital invite that gives each guest their own link, you can see who opened it and who RSVP’d, so you can plan food and space.
