When guests arrive from different cities for a wedding weekend, a welcome party gives them a warm first evening, introductions between both families and a sense of the days ahead. Create a wedding welcome party invitation on Ocvite with arrival details, the schedule and venue, and track who has reached.
Every guest replies from the invitation itself. Meal choices, plus-ones and headcount stay in one tidy list, so you can focus on the wedding welcome party.

Add check-in information, the welcome venue, start time and a preview of the coming functions.
Track which travelling guests are attending, with plus-ones, so hotel staff and hosts are prepared.
Guests can check timing and directions on their phones as they land or check in.
Send a reminder with the welcome party time and venue on the day guests arrive.
Greet arriving guests with a relaxed first evening and a clear look at the wedding weekend ahead.
Start Your InvitationTick these off before the invite goes out so guests have everything they need.
Choose a welcoming template, add the couple's names and a photo, and customise colours and fonts. Enter the date, time and venue, plus check-in notes and a schedule of the coming functions. Share via WhatsApp, email or link and see who is attending as replies come in.
Include the date, start time and venue, ideally near the guest hotel, along with dress code, transport arrangements and a short overview of the wedding schedule. Mention the hosting family and a contact number guests can call if their travel is delayed.
Share the welcome party as part of the wedding weekend schedule, six to eight weeks ahead, so guests book travel to arrive in time. Send a dedicated reminder on the arrival day with the venue and start time, since guests will be busy checking in.
Ask guests to RSVP specifically for the welcome party, as some may arrive later. Ocvite shows attending, not attending and maybe responses in real time, with plus-ones, so you can tell the hotel or caterer how many to expect on the first evening.
It greets guests who have travelled, lets both families meet informally before the rituals, and sets the tone for the wedding weekend. It is common at destination and multi-day Indian weddings, often hosted at the hotel with simple food, music and a relaxed dress code.
