Frequently asked questions
What do you write in a wedding card?
Congratulate them, wish them a happy marriage and sign off warmly: "Congratulations, Ali and Hina! Wishing you a lifetime of love and laughter. With love, the Khans."
What is the dua for newlyweds?
"Barakallahu laka wa baraka alaika wa jama'a bainakuma fi khair" means "May Allah bless you, shower blessings on you and bring you together in goodness."
Is it rude to congratulate the bride?
Traditionally some people said "best wishes" to the bride and "congratulations" to the groom. Today, congratulating both is perfectly polite.
