Answer

Direct answer

Explain which parts are religious observances and let guests choose respectful attendance without implying that presence means joining a rite.

Ask about practical needs such as food, seating or time to step out, and give clear guidance from the hosts. Avoid surprise invitations to recite, perform or adopt a practice. Specific religious questions belong with appropriately qualified authorities, not a generic wedding checklist. Inclusive hospitality can welcome different faiths while preserving the beliefs and boundaries of the couple and guests.
