Biodata format for marriage
A marriage biodata is a one-page introduction that families share before a first meeting. It is usually sent on WhatsApp as an image or PDF, and printed when relatives ask for a copy.
Most biodatas follow the same order: a short line of blessing at the top, the name and photo, then personal details, family details and contact details. Keeping to that order makes yours easy to read for the families who receive it.

Tips that make a good impression
Keep it to one page. Use a recent photo with a plain background and good light. Write education and work plainly, without abbreviations families may not know. Leave out anything you would rather discuss in person; empty fields are simply not printed.
