Marriage biodata format, with samples
A marriage biodata is a one-page introduction that families exchange before a meeting. This page shows what goes into a good biodata, in which order, and four samples you can start from. Every sample opens in the maker with the same details and design, ready for you to replace with your own.

- Keep it to one A4 page. Shubh Biodata makes the text a little smaller when needed so it fits.
- Write in the language both families read: English, हिंदी or मराठी.
- Leave out anything you are not comfortable sharing. Every field can be hidden from the biodata.
- Check phone numbers and the spelling of names before you share it.
- Print the PDF, and send the JPG image on WhatsApp so it opens without a PDF reader.
Common questions
What is the right biodata format for marriage?
Name and photo first, then personal details, horoscope details, education and career, family, a few lines about yourself, partner expectations and contact details, all on one A4 page.

Include them if your family matches horoscopes; otherwise leave them out or hide them. You can also check 36-gun matching on the Gun Milan page.
