Gift box ideas for Pakistani weddings, from dholki to walima

Pakistan's big wedding season falls in the cooler months, roughly November to February. Each function has its own mood, and so does its gift.

Dholki

For the evenings of songs and dholak, a small four-piece box of gur, shakkar and a little halwa. It doubles as a thank-you for guests.

Mehndi

Sweet and colourful: sohan halwa and Aseel dates, with a card in Urdu.

Nikah

Sharing chhuaray (dried dates) at the nikah is an old tradition. A box of dates is a graceful way to keep it.

Walima and family

For close relatives, the nine-piece Shaadi box: halwa, dates, gur, shakkar and a small jar of desi ghee.

Card wording

• "شادی مبارک! اللہ آپ دونوں کو ہمیشہ خوش رکھے۔"
• "نئی زندگی کی ڈھیروں مبارکباد، محبتوں کے ساتھ۔"
• "Wishing you a lifetime of sweetness. Shaadi Mubarak!"
