Introduction and history
Memadah is a custom practiced in Kelantan for the purpose of inviting individuals to attend an event or ceremony. The memadah custom is widely applied in life in Kelantan, especially in wedding invitations. Memadah is a social interaction of the Kelantan Malay community to inform relatives far and near, neighbors and the entire village community of the wedding date that will take place. The parents of the bride and groom will invite the guests they want a month before the date of the wedding ceremony.
Usually, an invitation to a wedding ceremony is done in two ways, namely through a verbal invitation or a card invitation. Among the Kelantan Malay, those invited to a wedding ceremony are called 'kena', while those who are not invited are called 'tidak kena'. Typically, the bride's parents will invite the whole village to attend their son's or daughter's wedding, unless the people they wish to invite are not at home at the time the invitation is extended.
Apart from wedding ceremonies, memadah customs are also practiced to invite any activity and event with a subtle and polite method.
Invite guests to attend the events or ceremony that will be held.
Memadah custom is done by visiting each guest's house.
