Frequently asked questions

Questions
What should a housewarming invitation say?

Your names, that you've moved, the date and time (or the drop-in window for an open house), the new address with a landmark and parking, and when to reply by. For a Griha Pravesh, add the muhurtham and the order of the puja and the meal.

Is it OK to say no gifts at a housewarming?

Yes. A line like "Nothing needed. Just bring yourselves!" or "Your presence is our blessing" says it kindly.

How early should I send housewarming invitations?

Two to three weeks ahead is usual. For a ceremony at a fixed muhurtham, send it as soon as the date is set, so relatives can plan to travel.

Can I use this wording on my own invitation?

Yes, copy any line. Each Ajenza style also starts with its own wording, which you can replace with any of these.

Do guests need an app or an account?

No. Guests open the link in any browser and reply on the invitation. You see every reply in one list, and can download it.

Is it free?

Making, publishing and sharing your invitation is free, and guests never pay or sign up. Each invitation includes a set number of free guest views; if you need more, a one-time payment unlocks unlimited views for that invitation.

Can I make more than one?

Yes. One Google account holds as many invitations and wedding cards as you need, each with its own link and its own replies. You'll find them all under My cards.
