New Delhi, Dec 4 (IANS) Comedian Kapil Sharma has not forgotten his roots. He chose an iconic sweet house from Punjab to arrange his invitation cards, boxes and sweets sent out to guests, including popular Bollywood celebrities.

Lovely Sweets, a 60-year-old Indian sweets manufacturer in Jalandhar, Punjab for sweets, and Lovely Imagination, for designing the elaborate wedding invitations and sweets, were chosen by Kapil and his bride-to-be Ginni Chatrath to do the needful ahead of their nuptials on December 12. It will be followed by a reception in Mumbai with popular Bollywood names in attendance.

According to Naresh Mittal, Director, Lovely Sweets: "Ginni had come along with her family members and friends to see our new collection, and she liked our designs and presentation style, instantly. Ginni and Kapil wanted a perfect amalgamation of 'traditions and modernity' and our luxurious Royalty collection fit the bill perfectly."

"Both Kapil and Ginni were keen to share the flavours of Punjab with a touch of modernity and wellness with all friends and relatives invited for the wedding. They finally chose an eclectic mix of Dry Fruit Punjabi Panjeeri, Nutty Delights, Green Tea and Baked Delights as accompaniment for their wedding invitations adorned by traditional Indian motifs and symbolism of elephants," Mittal added.
