Sheva Brachot Invitation Wording

Sheva Brachot (literally "Seven Blessings") are the festive meals held during the seven days following a Jewish wedding. Each night, a different host — usually close friends or family — organizes a dinner where the seven wedding blessings are recited over wine in the presence of the newlywed couple.

These intimate celebrations are a beautiful way to extend the wedding joy and allow different circles of family and friends to honor the couple. The invitation for each Sheva Brachot evening should be warm, personal, and clear about the logistics.

Below you will find wording templates ranging from traditional to casual, so every host can find the right tone for their evening.

Traditional Sheva Brachot invitations emphasize the religious significance of the occasion and are often issued by the hosting family.

Tip: In traditional communities, it is important to have a minyan (10 men) present and at least one "panim chadashot" (new face who was not at the wedding) at each Sheva Brachot meal.

Modern Sheva Brachot invitations keep the warmth while using a relaxed, personal voice. They work well for friends hosting a dinner party atmosphere.

Tip: If the Sheva Brachot is hosted at someone's home, include parking details and any dietary information (kosher certification, dairy/meat, etc.).

Hosting a Sheva Brachot? Keep these tips in mind for your invitation:

• Specify which night — If you are hosting one of seven evenings, mention which night it is (e.g., "Night 3 of 7") so guests can plan.
• RSVP is essential — Home-hosted dinners require accurate headcounts for cooking and seating.
• Mention the hosts — Part of the honor is that friends and family volunteer to host. Feature the hosts' names.
• Dietary details — Specify if the meal is meat or dairy, and whether there is kosher certification.
• Keep it intimate — Sheva Brachot are meant to be warm, personal gatherings. The invitation should feel like a personal note, not a mass announcement.
• Coordinate with other hosts — If you are part of a group hosting multiple nights, use Tov.events to coordinate and share guest lists.
