Indian weddings are expensive and elaborate productions, involving far extended families as well as expanded friend circles. Preparations begin months in advance, starting with the printing of the invitation cards.
With every aspect of the wedding now curated to be Instagram-worthy, wedding cards too have been quirky and out-of-the-box styles over the last few years. While most evoke comedy, some leave the guests uncomfortable, like the latest wedding invitation to go viral.
The invitation has gone viral not for its design or style, but for a specific line, disinviting a particular person. Apart from the names of those invited, the card prohibited one person from attending the celebrations.
The card reportedly was printed for the wedding of Rohit and Rajini who belong to Bichpuri village in Uttar Pradesh’s Etah district. It is dated April 15, but is going viral again now.
Rohit and Rajini were married on April 15, 2024, and Rohit reportedly sent this card to his friends, listing the names of friends invited but also mentioning one person who had been banned from the wedding.
The card mentions names like Upendra, Kamal, Imran, Rajesh and Dalveer who were invited to the wedding. A note, however, read: “Saurabh’s entry is strictly prohibited. His presence is not acceptable. Wherever you see him, chase him away.”
This unusual wedding invitation has sparked a flood of memes on social media, much to the annoyance of those named ‘Saurabh’. Many people tagged their friends named Saurabh, saying, “Look at the respect you have!” Some users also wondered whether Rohit was marrying Saurabh’s ex.
