ORDERING YOUR INVITATIONS IN DAR ES SALAAM
Dar es Salaam has a growing community of talented wedding designers around Msasani and Masaki. The city's coastal culture means tropical botanical designs are particularly popular. Always request a digital proof before printing, and order 10-15% more than your guest count. Dar es Salaam weddings beautifully blend Swahili, African and increasingly global influences. Many couples have both a Nikah ceremony and a reception — include both in your invitation suite.
