Separate men & women wedding invitations, worded clearly
Separate men & women wedding invitations on Dawati start with one choice: the “wedding with separate halls” event type. Your invitation wording then tells guests plainly that seating is separate for men and women, so nobody has to call to ask and you don't have to explain the arrangement in every chat. Everything else works as usual: RSVP buttons, companions and live reply tracking.
Why clarity matters at a Saudi wedding
Most Saudi weddings use two halls, one for men and one for women. Sometimes they share a building with two entrances; sometimes they sit side by side. Close family know the drill, but a guest travelling in from another city, or a friend attending one of your family's weddings for the first time, may not, and ends up at the wrong door or messaging you an hour before the event.
When the invitation itself says seating is separate, and the venue is written out precisely, those questions disappear. Guests read it once and know where to go, and you get to enjoy your night.
How separate men & women wedding invitations work on Dawati
After creating your event, open its details and set the type to “wedding with separate halls”. Your invitation wording is then written for this kind of wedding and states clearly that seating is separate for men and women, in Arabic, English or both.
It is one invitation for all your guests: each person receives it on WhatsApp in their name, with the same event details you entered. That's why the most useful thing you can do is write the venue so it works for both sides, as in the tips below.
- A dedicated event type: wedding with separate halls.
- Invitation wording that says seating is separate for men and women.
- One invitation with the same details for every guest.
- RSVP and live tracking work exactly as usual.
Set it up step by step
With your guest list already in your phone, it takes one short sitting:
- Create the event, then open its details and set the type to wedding with separate halls.
- Pick a ready-made template, or order a custom design.
- Review the separate-halls invitation wording and choose its language: Arabic, English or both.
- In the venue field, name both the men's and women's halls, or both entrances.
- Decide whether companions are allowed and the maximum per guest.
- Add guests from your contacts, send on WhatsApp and follow the replies.
Tips for writing the venue and entrances
Since every guest reads the same details, make the venue text serve both sides. If the halls are different, name both, for example: Jasmine Hall for men, Pearl Hall for women. If it's one venue with two entrances, describe each one: men's entrance on the north side, women's entrance through the side gate.
On Pro or Max, the custom message lets you explain in your own words which entrance is for whom, or add a line about the men's dinner time and the women's zaffa. Either way, send the invitation two to three weeks ahead and a reminder a day or two before.
One more tip: the bride's mother or sister usually knows the women's list best, so add her as a co-host to help manage the guest list.
Examples for the venue and entrances
Copy what fits into the venue field, or into your custom message if your package includes one.
Men: [Men's hall name], [District] Women: [Women's hall name], [District]
[Venue name], [City] Men's entrance: [Entrance description] Women's entrance: [Entrance description]
We look forward to celebrating with you. Please note the reception is separate: men at [Men's hall] after Isha prayer, women at [Women's hall] from [Time]. May Allah bless them both and unite them in goodness.
Everything else works as normal
Choosing a wedding with separate halls changes nothing else. Guests accept or decline with buttons inside the WhatsApp message, no app needed, and you see each guest by name: delivered, read, replied.
With Pro and Max, every guest who accepts gets a personal QR entry pass scanned at the door. The guest photo album is a flat 150 SAR add-on or included in Max, and you decide who receives its link, so it respects each side's privacy.
