In Ramadan, it's a common tradition in Indonesia to get together for bukber (breaking fast together) as a way to strengthen friendships and reconnect with loved ones. More than just sharing a meal, it's also a moment to reflect, be grateful, and appreciate the blessings we’ve received. That’s why iftar gatherings have become a must during this holy month.
You can invite family, friends, colleagues, or even members of your community to join in. Whether you're organizing a small get-together or a larger event, you can send out invitations through formal letters or simply via WhatsApp. To make it easier, here are some invitation wording ideas for a warm and meaningful iftar gathering.
