How to send the invitation to your whole list with each name

For 150 guests, typing each name takes hours, and a broadcast list only reaches guests who saved your number. Rapid Sender is free, runs in your browser, and sends one-to-one from your own WhatsApp.

  1. 1

    Make a guest list

    Put guests in an Excel or CSV file with name and phone columns, and add date or venue columns if they differ. Write names as you want them shown, such as "Ramesh Kaka".

  2. 2

    Link your WhatsApp

    Open Rapid Sender and scan the QR code from WhatsApp, Linked devices on your phone, or use a pairing code. No install, no sign-up.

  3. 3

    Upload guests

    Upload the file or add guests by hand. Numbers do not need to be saved in your phone.

  4. 4

    Paste your message and attach the card

    Paste a message from this page and check the live preview. Attach your card as an image or PDF, and print each guest's name on it in English, Hindi or Gujarati fonts.

  5. 5

    Test, then send

    Send a test to yourself first. Then send to everyone. A random pause of 7 to 10 seconds between messages keeps the pace natural; 100 guests take about 16 minutes.

Etiquette tips

  • Send the invitation 7 to 10 days before, and a reminder the day before. Rapid Sender has no scheduling, so send each one on the day.

  • Call elders personally as well. A WhatsApp invitation plus a phone call is the respectful norm in most Indian families.

  • Mention the timings clearly when there is both a puja and a meal, so guests know when to arrive.

  • Write "no gifts please" only if you mean it, and say it kindly.

  • Check the card PDF opens on a phone before sending it to everyone. WhatsApp shows its first page as a preview.

Frequently asked questions

What is written in a housewarming invitation?

The host's name, the occasion (housewarming or Griha Pravesh), the date, timings for the puja and meal, the address or location link, and a warm line asking the guest to come. Adding the guest's name makes it personal.

How do I invite people for a housewarming on WhatsApp politely?

Greet each guest by name, attach the card, give clear timings, and add a short line such as "we could not invite you in person". Follow up with a call for elders and close family.

How early should I send a housewarming invitation?

About 7 to 10 days before for family and friends, and 2 to 3 weeks if guests need to travel. Send a short reminder the day before.

Can I attach the invitation card as a PDF?

Yes. Rapid Sender lets you attach a PDF or image card and print each guest's name on it. WhatsApp shows the first page of the PDF along with your message.

How do I add the Google Maps location?

In Google Maps, tap your home, choose Share and copy the link. Paste it on its own line in the message so WhatsApp shows a map preview.

Can I send it to guests whose number I have not saved?

Yes. With Rapid Sender the numbers only need to be in your sheet, not in your phone's contacts.
