StatusWedding season status and captions
Sangeet practice, mehndi, baraat, the buffet and the cousin who dances like nobody is filming. Lines for everyone at the wedding, from the couple to the guest who came for the food.
Guests and friends
I came for the couple. I stayed for the paneer.
Wedding season: my calendar is full and my wallet is empty.
Third wedding this month. I know the caterer by name now.
Danced like the DJ was a relative.
Dressed for the wedding by six. Photos till eight. Dinner at eleven.
One of us is getting married. The rest of us are getting fed.
My feet hurt and I regret nothing.
Best friend's wedding. I cried before the bride did.
Family side
The baby of the family is getting married. Who allowed this?
Brother of the bride: on duty since last Tuesday.
Our house has not slept in a week, and nobody minds.
Sangeet practice going badly. Confidence going well.
We gained a family today.
Vidaai day. Smiling in photos, crying between them.

शादी का सीज़न है, हर हफ़्ते नया सूट।
दूल्हे से ज़्यादा तैयार तो दोस्त हैं।
बारात में नाचना हमारा पारिवारिक हुनर है।
खाना लाजवाब था, बाक़ी शादी भी अच्छी थी।
बहन की शादी है, भाई को फ़ुरसत नहीं।
घर में शहनाई, दिल में ख़ुशी और थोड़ी सी नमी।
हल्दी लग गई, अब शादी पक्की।
आज घर में एक नया रिश्ता जुड़ा।

ਵਿਆਹ ਵਾਲਾ ਘਰ, ਨੀਂਦ ਕਿਸੇ ਨੂੰ ਨਹੀਂ।
ਜਾਗੋ ਕੱਢੀ, ਸਾਰਾ ਪਿੰਡ ਜਗਾ ਦਿੱਤਾ।
ਵੀਰ ਦਾ ਵਿਆਹ, ਭੈਣਾਂ ਦੇ ਚਾਅ।
ਬਰਾਤ ਵਿੱਚ ਭੰਗੜਾ, ਸਾਡਾ ਖ਼ਾਨਦਾਨੀ ਹੁਨਰ।
ਮਹਿੰਦੀ ਵਾਲੀ ਰਾਤ, ਗਿੱਧੇ ਦੀ ਧਮਾਲ।
ਭੈਣ ਦੀ ਡੋਲੀ, ਅੱਖਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਪਾਣੀ, ਬੁੱਲ੍ਹਾਂ ਤੇ ਹਾਸਾ।
ਯਾਰ ਦਾ ਵਿਆਹ, ਸਾਡੀ ਈਦ।
Nothing matches. Try a shorter word, or choose All.
Whose wedding is it?
Your caption depends on your part in the day. As a guest, be funny about yourself: the food, the dancing, the shoes that hurt. As a sibling or cousin, be proud and a little tearful. As the couple, be short and thankful, because you will be posting a great deal. In every case the day belongs to the two people getting married, so let their own photos appear first.
Ask before you post
- Many families want to share the first photos of the bride and groom themselves. Wait for theirs.
- Check before posting from private functions such as the haldi or mehndi.
- Elders and guests may not want dance videos online. A quick "okay to post?" is good manners.
Make it yours
Name the relation and the function: "Mama's daughter's sangeet, and I had one job." Name your task: counting gift envelopes, guarding the shoes, managing the DJ. Wedding humour is always about the chaos behind the photos, and every family has its own.
What to avoid
- Jokes about marriage being a trap. The couple has heard them all.
- Comments on cost, gifts or how anyone looked.
- Photos showing piles of gifts, jewellery or cash envelopes.
For the message inside the card or the envelope, see wedding wishes.
Before you post
- Post the group photo the next day, when everyone has slept and can approve it.
Questions
Are there captions for the bride's or groom's side?
Yes. The lines are grouped for guests and for family, and most can be changed for either side.
