Imran Khan weds Avantika Malik this weekend. Invites for Aamir Khan's nephew and his fiance's nuptials are being sent to select guests, which includes several B-Town folk.
The actor is having a registered marriage with an all-night mehendi ceremony on January 8 in Karjat, on the outskirts of Mumbai, where the Maliks have a farmhouse. Here's a dekho of the contemporary invite:
The invitation: It contains two boxes in black and silver which state Two Thousand Eleven -- A Year To Remember. One box contains chocolates while the other carries a 2011 diary-like year planner, potpourri and a pinwheel. The invite attached to the pinwheel states: 'Mehndi on January 8 between 5 pm and 8 pm -- and we party thereafter until dawn'.
Suggested footwear for the women guests: The invite carries a party hint: 'Ladies are advised that stilettos may be uncomfortable. Flats or block heels recommended'
Swipe card: Each invite includes a swipe card and guests have been told to carry it for security reasons. The reverse of the swipe card has an address map.
The designer: The invitation has been designed by one of Mumbai's sought-after high-end contemporary invitation card designers, Uttara Shah.
Engagement invite
Imran got engaged to Avantika at Karjat on January 16, 2010. The engagement invitation was in the shape of a metal box that contained a bottle of sand. The invites were rolled into the bottle. Guests had been invited to a day long outing that included a brunch, followed by the exchange of rings and dinner.
