TRADITIONAL ENGAGEMENT INVITATION DESIGNS

These designs celebrate Nigerian cultural identity — kente prints, aso-oke fabric textures, Adinkra symbols, coral bead motifs and rich earth tones that honour the beauty of African weddings.

WHAT TO INCLUDE ON YOUR TRADITIONAL ENGAGEMENT INVITATION

A traditional engagement invitation typically includes: the full names of both families, the date and time of both the knocking (introduction) and the main engagement, the venue address, dress code (especially the agreed aso-ebi colour), and a contact number for RSVPs. If you have a gift registry, include the link — many families appreciate knowing where to contribute.
