NOW, THE PAWRI MEME FINDS ITS WAY TO WEDDING INVITES
Yeh hum hai, yeh humari engagement hai, Aur yeh humari pawri hori hai,” reads the virtual invite of a Delhi-based couple who were college sweethearts and are now finally set to throw an engagement ‘pawri’ and get married soon. Arpan Khosla and Aakansha Aggarwal decided to use the pawri meme in their engagement invite to shake things up a bit and set a fun vibe to the festivities. “I just love the meme trending ideas on social media and did not want to do a normal clichéd invitation,” shares Aggarwal who shared the invite on her family WhatsApp group, packed with elders and youngsters and was pleasantly surprised to learn that even the elders knew the pawri meme reference. But how did this trend find it’s way to wedding invites? Youngsters took to social media to make reels at first. “I found the pawri meme pretty cool and catchy the first time I saw it. I even made a reel on it for my Instagram account. Once it became a trend, we decided to use it on our invite because both of us believe in breaking the normal conventions,” shares Khosla.
Is the meme slowly finding its way to more such invites? “We are throwing a cocktail party and have made a video invite for it with a reel in which we both are dancing to the meme,” says Delhibased bride Avantika Arora, who also plans on asking the DJ to play the track on the night of her cocktail.
When it comes to unique wedding invites, youngsters have been using the reference of the pandemic and hand sanitisers to bring in the fun connect to their pandemic weddings! “I feel moving away from traditional cards does give a youthful vibe,” shares Aaliya Talwar, a Delhi bride who recently had a small wedding ceremony and plans on having a bigger one post pandemic.
When people complain they have no time, its not really about time, they just haven’t found the activity that helps them find joy in themselves.
