"Par for the course. A few decades ago, when degrees were hard to get, mentioning BSc, BCom, etc., was the norm. I have seen an invite where the last name of one side of the family was not mentioned ('coz different caste). Have accepted the anti-social tag from the family than attend most weddings that feel claustrophobic - in between the show for labels and identities, there is no breathing space left anymore," a user wrote.

"I was there, It was also mentioned on the kaju katli, wedding cake and even the chaat. Guests were instructed to mention it on the shagun ka lifafa as well," another user wrote.

"Disappointed that they didn't have their major, salary, linkedin profile mentioned in that invite," joked the third user on X.

"Ohh the rank is missing," the fourth remarked.

The fifth user asked, "This is preposterous! Why haven't they mentioned their GPA??"
