Arabesque & Lantern Engagement Invitations

Two engagement invitations in geometric arabesque. Moorish Arch hangs lanterns inside a horseshoe arch over Engagement Ceremony, labeled Together with Their Families, with "Hosted by the Hassan and Siddiqui families" on the back, in Ivory & Gold, Navy & Gold or Peacock & Gold. Star Medallion frames an eight-point star medallion in a band of geometric stars around Engagement Party, with "Dinner to follow" on the back, in Emerald & Gold, Navy & Gold or Ivory & Gold. Every palette carries a warm gold-toned accent; there is no script or religious text in the art.

Hosting tip
If the engagement is a family gathering at home followed by a larger party, two cards from the same design keep it tidy: Engagement Ceremony for the close family, and Engagement Party for everyone invited to the celebration after.
How it works

Details, wording, colors, download

Open any design above in the maker. Type both names, the date and the venue; the label carries the families' line (TOGETHER WITH THEIR FAMILIES) and the back names the hosts, such as "Hosted by the Sharma and Mehta families", with room for the meal or the order of the day.

Pick one of the three palettes drawn for the design, then download a 5 x 7 PDF (front and back), a two-per-sheet letter PDF for home printing, print-shop PNGs with bleed, 4 x 6 PNGs for a photo counter, a phone-sized PNG to text or email, or a Word file. For more lines to put on the card, see the engagement party invitation wording ideas and the etiquette guide.

Frequently asked questions

Is there text in Arabic or Urdu on the card?
No. The art is geometric pattern, arches and lanterns only, and the maker's fonts are Latin-script fonts, so the wording is typed in English or another Latin-alphabet language.
Can it say Engagement Party instead of Engagement Ceremony?
Yes. Star Medallion already says Engagement Party, and every headline is editable.
