A look at Ash-Abhi's wedding card

If you have already set eyes on the golden box embossed with a double A then you are probably one of the few A-listers who have been invited for Bollywood’s wedding of the year.

Yes, this box is the invite for the much talked about Ash-Abhi wedding to be held on April 20.

The wedding card comes in a big box, with three parts tied together with a ribbon.

The first contains the invite while the second contains 24 pieces of a special mithai made with chocolate imported from Switzerland and the third box contains a Ganesh idol.

The card also has the emblem 'AA' embossed on red in white gold.

The second page of the card has Lord Ganesh embossed on it, followed by a few shlokas printed in golden letters.

The third page has a Hindi poem written by late poet and Amitabh’s father Harivanshrai Bachchan while the fourth and fifth pages contain the actual invitation to the wedding at Prateeksha, in Hindi and English.

The fifth and sixth pages give out the ceremonial details of the sangeet ceremony on April 18 and the wedding on the 20th. And the last page has the names of the members of the Bachchan and Rai family, along with those of close friend and SP leader Amar Singh and family.

For a personal touch, each card has been signed by the parents of the bride and groom.

Only 100 A-listers have got their hands on this golden invite for Bollywood's golden couple. The guest list includes Ajay Devgan, Suniel Shetty, Sanjay Dutt, Anupam Kher with family, Danny Denzongpa, Karan Johar, Yash Chopra, Sachin Tendulkar and the man behind the original Don Chandra Barot.

While Bollywood's Khan-daan has been given a cold shoulder, Sahara's Subroto Roy, Reliance honcho Anil Ambani and family will grace the occasion. Add to this another 100 invitees that include 50 relatives from the groom's and the bride's families.

No doubt, UP Chief Minister Mulayam Singh will make an appearance to bless the couple and contrary to rumours, no invitation has been sent to Congress chief Sonia Gandhi and family.

And here’s the real surprise – none of Abhishek's leading ladies have been invited. So, no Preity Zinta or Rani Mukherji to up the glam quotient.
