Newspaper wedding invitation
Your wedding is the morning's front page
A delivery cycle comes up a market lane with your names on its papers, then the paper opens: a coupon to scratch for the date, a quiz about you, and every ceremony on one street.
Akhbaar is a digital newspaper wedding invitation, sent as a link on WhatsApp: your names are printed on the papers on a delivery cycle's carrier, and the paper opens into a special edition your guests turn page by page. They scratch a lucky coupon for the date and play a quiz about the two of you. Every family is greeted by name, with each ceremony's time, place and map. Free to try; ₹1,999 once, when you send it.

Akhbaar, the morning paper
Akhbaar is the Hindi and Urdu word for a newspaper: the one that lands at the door before the tea is made and goes round the whole family. This invitation is a special edition of it, with the masthead in your own names.
It belongs to no single tradition. It is painted as an old Indian town, with no faces and no gods in it, so it suits any wedding: keep the ceremonies you have and name them the way your family does.
It plays as guests touch and scroll, on any phone, from a link on WhatsApp. There is no app to install and nothing to download.
How Akhbaar opens
Your wedding is the morning's special edition: your names on the papers on a delivery cycle's carrier, then the road from the rider's own seat, pedalled by your guests' scroll through an old Indian town.
- 01
On the carrier
Your names over a shaded market lane. A scroll brings a delivery cycle up from below, with your names printed on the top paper on its carrier.
- 02
From the rider's seat
The road rolls towards the guest, from the handlebars, with your names as the headline in the sky.
- 03
The paper opens
Back at the carrier, the top paper lifts off the stack and its fold opens into the front page: your names and both families' words.
- 04
The lucky coupon
A reader's coupon with a strip of silver on it. The guest scratches it with a finger, and your date is underneath.
- 05
Quiz corner
Up to six questions about the two of you, one at a time, with a pencil ring on the right answer and a score at the end.
- 06
One street, every ceremony
The rider pedals through the town as guests scroll, and one house is dressed for each ceremony, with its time, place and map in the sky above.
- 07
The calendar and the classifieds
An old wall calendar tears down to the days left. Stay, parking, weather and the family to call are printed as the paper's classifieds.
- 08
Letters to the editor
A folded letter opens into the wish form, and every wish is printed for everyone to read.
Newspaper wedding invitation wording
A plain, warm way to put it, in the paper's own voice. Akhbaar starts with words like these, and you change them to yours.

Questions families ask
Is it a real newspaper to print?
No. It is a link that opens on a phone and moves as guests scroll. It looks like an old newspaper, with your names on the masthead, and there is nothing to print or download.
Which weddings is it for?
Any. It belongs to no single tradition: choose from Engagement, Haldi, Mehendi, Sangeet, Wedding and Reception, rename any of them the way your family says it, or add your own.
Can we write our own quiz?
Yes. You write up to six questions, each with its right answer and the wrong ones to choose from. You can also leave the quiz out.
Is there a video too?
Yes. A 9:16 invitation video is included: the same cycle, your names, your ceremonies and your closing words, made once you have checked your details.
How is it sent?
As a link on WhatsApp. It is ₹1,999, once, and every family can have its own link with its name on it.
