Writing the Hijri and Gregorian Date on a Wedding or Nikah Invitation

When to use which calendar

• Hijri: common for the nikah and religious occasions.
• Gregorian: useful for guests abroad and for bookings.
• Both together: the clearest for most guests.

Wording

• Example: “Friday, 26 Jumada al-Awwal 1448 AH, corresponding to 6 November 2026.”
• Write the day first, then the date, then the time.
• Mention the time zone if some guests are in another country.

On Davet

• From the “Occasion & date” button choose Gregorian, Hijri or both.
• The date appears in the chosen form on the invitation, the countdown and WhatsApp messages.
• Change the date any time and the result shows on the same link.

Note

Check the Hijri date against an official calendar in your country; it may differ by a day depending on moon sighting.
