Ramadan ghabga invitations

The ghabga is a late Ramadan gathering after taraweeh, rotated between homes in the neighbourhood or hosted by companies for their teams. Its invitation is simple and warm, and goes out on WhatsApp a few days ahead.

In short

A ghabga invitation is a simple, warm Ramadan invitation: "We are pleased to invite you to a Ramadan ghabga" with the date, the late hour and the place. The ghabga pack is a card with your names plus a status video at QAR 450; an interactive invitation from QAR 650.

Time and place

A ghabga usually runs from around 11 pm to 2 am, at home or in the majlis, or in a hall for company ghabgas. Many families hold separate men's and ladies' ghabgas, so you may need two invitations.

Wording

  • «يسعدنا دعوتكم لغبقة رمضانية» (we are delighted to invite you to a Ramadan ghabga)
  • «يتشرف محمد بن سالم وأسرته بدعوتكم لغبقة رمضانية في مجلسهم» (… and family invite you to a ghabga at their majlis)
  • «تتشرف إدارة … بدعوتكم لحضور الغبقة الرمضانية السنوية» (the management of … invites you to the annual ghabga)
  • «… مساء يوم … رمضان بعد صلاة التراويح» (on the evening of … Ramadan, after taraweeh)

And Garangao?

Garangao night in mid-Ramadan (Gergean in Kuwait and Bahrain, Haq al-Laila in the UAE) is a children's gathering at home. The invitation is for mothers and children, in joyful colours with light wording such as «we'd love to see your children with us on Garangao night».

The ghabga pack

The «Ramadan ghabga» card with your names plus the card's status video comes in the ghabga pack (QAR 450), or an interactive invitation from QAR 650 if you want a map and RSVP. Order well before Ramadan: ghabga nights come close together.

Questions we hear often

When should I send the ghabga invitation?

We suggest five to seven days ahead at least, with a reminder on the day. Ramadan evenings fill up early.

Do you make ghabga invitations for companies?

Yes, with formal wording in the organisation's name and RSVPs going to the coordinator.

Does it have music?

Music is optional in all our invitations, and many families ask for the ghabga invitation without it.
