A woman named Sonal Battla uploaded the invitation card on Twitter. "My grandparents¡¯ wedding invitation circa #1933 #Delhi," she wrote as the caption of the tweet.?
The image showed a card that was coffee coloured and had Urdu writing on it. The card read, "I honour and thank the Prophet Muhammad.

A man wrote, "See the humbleness of our ancestors. They will continue to be the guiding torch for us and for many generations to come. May their souls rest in eternal peace."
?A woman added, "So beautifully written! Probably someone would go around the gullies with a register and the RSVP would be the letter suad written by the invitee in the register. The name of the bride is missing from the invitation."
Another pointed out, "Very interesting that the events took place at 10am in the morning! How the world has changed."
