Griha Pravesh Invitation Message for WhatsApp
A griha pravesh invitation should be short, warm and clear about the puja time, the lunch time and the address. This guide gives you simple wording you can copy, tips on timings, and a way to know how many people will come so you can plan prasad and lunch. LoyaltyRewards can send the invitation to your guests on WhatsApp in one go and collect their replies.
What to write in a griha pravesh invitation
Keep the message to five or six lines. Guests want to know who is inviting them, what the occasion is, when and where to come, and whether they should reply.
You can use this as a starting point and change the names and times:
- Namaste ji. Shri [Family name] and family invite you to our griha pravesh at our new home, [address].
- Puja: [date], [time]. Lunch to follow at [time]. Your presence will make our day complete.
- Please reply Yes, Maybe or Can't come, and tell us how many will join.
- With blessings, [Family name]
Puja and lunch timings
Ask your pandit for the muhurat (auspicious time) and fix the puja time around it. Write the time clearly in the message, for example 9:30 am, not just morning.
Many families serve lunch one to two hours after the puja, so guests who come for the puja can stay on. Tell guests if they can come only for lunch, or only for the puja, so that people do not feel unsure about coming.
Send the invitation a few weeks ahead, and remind people a few days before the day. Include a map link or landmark for the address, since many guests will be travelling from other areas.
- Puja time and muhurat confirmed with the pandit
- Lunch time written clearly
- Address with a landmark or map link
- Dress code or any special instruction, if needed
Knowing how many will come for prasad and lunch
Prasad packets and lunch plates cost money and food is wasted if you cook for too many, so a headcount helps. Asking guests to reply is the simplest way.
With LoyaltyRewards InviteCount, you add your guests by pasting a list, uploading an Excel sheet or picking from your contacts, then send the invitation on WhatsApp in one click. Guests tap Yes, coming, Maybe or Can't come. WhatsApp then asks how many people are coming and whether they want veg or non-veg by itself. Guests can reply CHANGE at any time to update their answer.
The dashboard shows who is coming, who may come, who can't come and who has not replied yet, with a likely headcount and a low-high range. The range is an estimate, not a promise, so plan with a small buffer. The system also sends at most two reminders, and only to people who know you. Anyone who replies STOP is never messaged again.
- Send the invitation with the three reply buttons
- Let guests reply how many people and veg or non-veg
- Check the dashboard a few days before the puja
- Plan prasad and lunch using the likely headcount plus a small buffer

Questions
What should a griha pravesh invitation message say?
It should name the family, the new home address, the puja time, the lunch time and how to reply. Keep it short and warm, and say clearly whether lunch is served after the puja.
How early should I send the griha pravesh invitation on WhatsApp?
Sending two to three weeks ahead gives guests time to plan travel, and a short reminder a few days before the puja helps. With InviteCount, reminders are sent automatically, at most two.

Ask guests to reply Yes, Maybe or Can't come on WhatsApp and to say how many people are coming. InviteCount's dashboard shows a likely headcount with a low-high range, which is an estimate, so keep a small buffer.
