What Must Be in a Griha Pravesh Invitation
Muhurat time — the most critical detail
The muhurat is not just a start time — it is the exact moment the family enters the home for the first time. Guests need to arrive before it begins. Write the muhurat time in the first two lines of your invitation, separate from "general arrival" or "programme begins." Never write "auspicious morning" without the actual time.
Full address + landmark
New colonies and recently completed apartment projects are often in areas guests have never visited. Include the full address, the society/building name, wing and floor number if applicable, and a nearby landmark. A digital invite lets you embed a Google Maps pin — this alone prevents most "I got lost" calls on the day.
Parking instructions
For apartment complex housewarmings, parking is one of the most common friction points. Specify whether there is visitor parking, at which gate, on which level, or whether guests should park on the street. A short note saves a dozen phone calls on ceremony day.
Pooja schedule
Many guests will plan their day around specific parts of the ceremony. A clear schedule — Ganesh Puja at [time] → Ghar Pravesh muhurat at [time] → Grah Shanti at [time] → Lunch at [time] — helps guests decide when to arrive and how long to stay.
Whether lunch is included or just prasad
Guests often assume a housewarming includes lunch, but some ceremonies close with just prasad distribution. State this clearly to avoid awkward situations. If lunch is included, a rough serving time helps guests plan.
Contact number for day-of queries
Especially for new addresses, guests will call with "how do I reach there" questions. Include a contact number — preferably someone who can take calls during the ceremony, like a sibling or close family friend.

Griha Pravesh Invitation Mistakes That Cause Confusion
Not mentioning the muhurat time
Writing "auspicious morning" or "morning ceremony" without the actual time leaves guests guessing. Some will arrive two hours early; others will show up after the muhurat has passed. Always state the exact time — and separately note when guests should arrive so the muhurat runs on schedule.
Sending without a Maps link
New residential areas and apartment projects often have poor map listings. Guests navigating to a new locality for the first time will struggle without a Google Maps pin. A digital invite with an embedded map pin eliminates this problem entirely.
No parking guidance for apartment complexes
Apartment societies have limited visitor parking. Without guidance, guests circle the compound, block the entrance, or park far away and arrive flustered. A single sentence — "Visitor parking at Gate 2, B2 level" — saves enormous confusion.
Not stating whether lunch is included
Many housewarmings serve a full lunch after the puja; some serve only prasad. Guests need to know so they can plan. If lunch is included, a rough serving time helps. If only prasad is being distributed, it is better to mention it clearly than to have guests waiting.
Sending too late
Invitations sent 3–4 days before the ceremony give outstation family no time to travel and even local guests too little time to plan. Send 10–14 days ahead for local guests and 3–4 weeks ahead if family needs to travel. A reminder 2 days before works well for everyone.
Griha Pravesh Invitation Wording — FAQ
What should a Griha Pravesh invitation message say?
A Griha Pravesh invitation should include: the muhurat time (most critical), the full new address with a landmark or Google Maps pin, pooja schedule (Ganesh Puja, Grah Shanti, lunch timing), the host family names, parking or building entry instructions if needed, and a personal blessing request from guests. The muhurat time should appear in the first two lines — guests plan their entire day around it.
How important is it to include muhurat time in the invitation?
Muhurat time is the single most important detail in a Griha Pravesh invitation. Unlike a party where late arrival is acceptable, guests need to arrive before the muhurat for the auspicious entry ritual. Not mentioning the exact muhurat time — or only writing "auspicious morning" — causes confusion and late arrivals. Always state the muhurat time clearly and separately from the general gathering time.
Should I send a digital Griha Pravesh invitation or printed cards?
Digital invitations work extremely well for Griha Pravesh because the new address is often in an unfamiliar area. A digital invite lets you embed a Google Maps link directly, which printed cards cannot do. You can also include the full pooja schedule, parking instructions, and a photo of the new home — all from a single WhatsApp link. Many families send a digital invite to most guests and printed cards only to elderly relatives who prefer it.
When should I send the Griha Pravesh invitation?
Send the Griha Pravesh invitation 10–14 days before the ceremony. For outstation family and close relatives who need to travel, send 3–4 weeks ahead. Always send a WhatsApp reminder 2 days before with the address and muhurat time. With a digital invitation, the reminder is just re-sharing the same link — no new design needed.
