Test, then send

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.
