Diwali video invitation with RSVP for a puja and dinner

Short answer

A Diwali video invitation is a short clip with your family's greeting, the date, and the times of the puja and the dinner, placed on a page where guests reply and open directions. Send it two to three weeks before, so people can plan around the long weekend travel.

When is Diwali?

For India, calculated for New Delhi by Drik Panchang, Lakshmi Puja is on Sunday 8 November 2026 and on Friday 29 October 2027. The date can fall a day apart in other countries, because it depends on the moon and the time of evening, so confirm the day with your family or temple before you send invitations. Our Indian festival calendar for 2026 and for 2027 list the nearby dates too, such as Dhanteras and Bhai Dooj.

What should the video include?

• A greeting from the family, kept to one line.
• The day and date.
• The puja time and the dinner time, shown as two separate lines.
• The area and city. The full address goes on the page.

Diyas, rangoli and marigold garlands make good visuals. Keep the words large and on screen for at least two seconds each.

How do I show both the puja and the dinner?

Many Diwali invitations have two times. Add them as two events on the page, each with its own time and, if it differs, its own venue. A guest who can only come for dinner can see that at a glance.

What should I ask guests when they reply?

• How many are coming. A number question gives you a count for the puja prasad and the meal.
• Food needs. The dietary notes field covers vegetarian, Jain or no onion and garlic.
• A question of your own. You can add up to two, such as "Will you stay for the aarti?"

What else belongs on the page?

• A Directions button to your home or the hall, with the pin placed at the right gate.
• A Call button for an elder or the host, for guests who get lost.
• A Wishes Wall, so friends can leave Diwali greetings where everyone can read them.
• Add to calendar and a countdown to the day.
