Weddings in India are culturally very important and are usually full of grand decorations, colors, music, dance and traditional customs. Apart from the traditional aspects, families also take great care in making the wedding card of the wedding spectacular. Wedding cards play an important role in setting the atmosphere of the ceremony.
Traditionally, the first invitation, called the "yellow letter", is sent by the bride's family to the groom's family. While many families choose wedding cards of printed paper, a bullion trader in Firozabad, Uttar Pradesh has changed this custom by introducing gorgeous wedding cards made of gold and silver, which has attracted a lot of attention.
Lucky Jindal, owner of Lala Ravindra Nath Kanhaiya Lal Sarafa, spoke exclusively to Local18. He said that many people often underestimate the emotional value of wedding cards, often throwing them away after the event. "These invitations should be cherished as souvenirs rather than thrown away," he stressed. Jindal also highlighted the importance of the yellow letter, a symbolic part of the wedding process, and urged that it should be treated respectfully and preserved.
Jindal's shop has started preparing luxurious wedding invitations, which combine grandeur and luxury. Decorated with intricate designs in gold and silver, these cards are fast becoming popular among couples who want to make a lasting impression. The invitations have beautiful gold or silver letters, which add to their charm.
For the first time in Firozabad, wedding cards are being made using gold and silver. These cards have frames made of these precious metals, allowing customers to print their invitations just like traditional invitations. Shopkeeper Lucky Jindal said that the price of these wedding cards ranges from Rs 10,000 to Rs 11 lakh.
Jindal said that as the wedding season is approaching, they have started receiving orders for these wedding cards, and customers are eager to get these luxurious options.
Notably, these wedding invitation cards costing Rs 11 lakh are one of the most expensive cards ever made in India.
He said, "We are getting requests for different designs, and the demand for these high-level cards is increasing rapidly. People want something unique that reflects their personal style and the importance of the occasion."
