What should families confirm when an event date is expressed in both Hijri and Gregorian calendars?

Direct answer
Confirm that both calendar dates refer to the same intended event, and check whether the Hijri date remains subject to local moon-sighting announcements.
Write the Gregorian date, day, time and venue clearly on the final invitation. If a religious observance affects the schedule, verify the relevant official announcement rather than treating an app conversion as final. Tell suppliers which date governs their booking. A calendar conversion is useful planning information, but it does not resolve every locally observed date in advance.
