    Choose a Diwali Invitation for Your Celebration

    Start with the gathering you are hosting, then browse the Diwali invitation templates and pick one to match. Whatever kind of Festival of Lights invitation you need, you can add your own details to any design.

    • Home puja. For a Lakshmi puja at home, try diya and lamp designs, including Pooja. They suit a Diwali puja invitation with a calm, traditional tone.
    • Family dinner. Dinner, Feast And Sweet, and Sweets designs put the meal in focus. They work well as a Diwali dinner invitation or a Diwali family gathering invitation.
    • Larger community celebration. Peacock, Carnival, and Flourish designs have a festive look for neighbors, friends and extended family.
    • Card party or games night. A Diwali card party invitation can use livelier designs, such as Crackers.
    • Office or friends gathering. For a Diwali office party invitation, lantern and marigold designs are bright and easy to share with colleagues.

    Rangoli, marigold and kundan designs also suit a traditional Diwali invitation. If you want Diwali invitation cards with classic imagery, choose a diya or peacock design.

    Diwali or Deepavali? Use the Spelling Your Guests Know

    Diwali, Deepavali, and Deepawali are different spellings of the same festival, and families use the one they grew up with. The text on your card is editable, so you can write Diwali, Deepavali or Deepawali and add a greeting such as Shubh Deepavali. Making Deepavali invitations or a Deepawali invitation card? The same designs work for all three.

    What to Include on a Diwali Invitation

    Guests plan better when the invitation answers the practical questions. Here is what to include on a Diwali invitation:

    • Date, start time and address. Give the full address and the time guests should arrive.
    • Puja timing. If you are hosting a Lakshmi puja, give the start time and say whether guests are invited for the puja, the meal or both. Puja timing can vary by city and tradition, so confirm yours first.
    • Dress guidance. Say whether you would like traditional or festive clothes, or whether any smart outfit is fine.
    • Parking or entry notes. Mention where to park, which entrance to use, and whether shoes come off at the door.
    • Food notes. Say whether the menu is vegetarian, and whether you are serving dinner, snacks, or mithai.
    • Activities. Rangoli, diya lighting, card games or a potluck, if you are planning them.
    • RSVP deadline. Ask for replies by a set date so you can plan seating and dinner numbers.

    How to Send Diwali Invitations Online

    Send one link to family groups across cities and countries by WhatsApp, email, or SMS. Online Diwali invitations make it easy to reach relatives who live far away, as well as neighbors, friends and colleagues. To share Diwali invitations on WhatsApp, paste the link into a chat or group.

    Free designs include a watermark, and a paid plan removes it. RSVP tracking collects replies in one place, so Diwali invitations with RSVP let you plan seating, dinner, and mithai from a single headcount. Add an RSVP deadline to your invitation so replies arrive in time for planning. Digital Diwali invitations also save you from chasing replies across many chats.

    When to Send Diwali Invitations

    Send Diwali invitations 2 to 4 weeks ahead. Diwali 2026 falls on Sunday, November 8 in most calendars, so the sending window runs from about October 11 to October 25. Dates, customs and puja times vary by region, tradition and time zone, and can shift by a day. Check your local temple calendar or family priest, and count back from your own party date.
