The digital engagement invitation
An engagement in the Gulf is a closer, smaller gathering than the wedding: family and friends at home or in a small hall. Its invitation needs warmth and lightness more than grandeur.
In short
A digital engagement invitation is a card or a link with your names, the date and the place, in short wording: "Umm Sara has the honour of inviting you to her daughter's engagement". At THEEM a card starts at QAR 350 within 48–72 hours, an interactive invitation with RSVP at QAR 650, and the designs live in the engagement world.
Engagement wording
The host is usually the bride's mother or her family: "Umm Sara has the honour of inviting you to the engagement of her daughter Sara", then the Hijri and Gregorian date, the time and the venue, and a closing line: "Your presence makes our joy complete". If the engagement and the milcha fall on one night, write "the milcha and engagement celebration" and see the milcha invitation guide.
The design
THEEM's engagement world is orchid and berry in a single touch, with no hearts and no crowded ornament. The card comes in the Arabic calligraphy you choose; the interactive invitation opens with a rose wax seal and carries the map and RSVP.
When to send it
A week to ten days before a small gathering, two weeks when guests travel from outside Doha. A card reaches you within 48–72 hours, so order it at least three days before you send.

Questions we hear often
What is the difference between an engagement and a milcha invitation?
The engagement is a celebration announcing the match; the milcha is the marriage contract with the ma'zoun. Many families hold both on one night and write "the milcha and engagement celebration".
Do I write the bride's name?
As the family prefers. "Her daughter" or "his daughter" without the name works too, and the name is hidden from everything a guest sees.
How much is it?
A card from QAR 350, an interactive invitation from QAR 650.
