Why Tov.events for Shabbat Chatan?

Shabbat Chatan (or Shabbat Kallah) is the special Shabbat celebrating a groom or bride before or after the wedding — a communal celebration hosted at the synagogue. Inviting your community, extended family, and friends requires reaching many people quickly and clearly.

Tov.events makes it easy to create a beautiful Shabbat Chatan invitation and share it with your entire community via WhatsApp. Include all the details — synagogue name, time of services, kiddush details, and any special programs — on one elegant page.

For families with community members who speak different languages, the multilingual feature ensures everyone understands the invitation. Hebrew for the shul regulars, English for out-of-town guests, French for family from abroad. Track RSVPs to estimate kiddush attendance, and send reminders as Shabbat approaches. It's the modern way to honor an ancient tradition.

“We invited the entire kehilla to our son's Shabbat Chatan via Tov.events. The WhatsApp invitations reached everyone instantly, and we had a beautiful turnout. So much easier than announcements alone.”

— Moshe & Leah F., Hendon, London
