HelpOnam Invitation Questions

How do I create an Onam invitation with Ocvite?

Choose an Onam template with pookalam or kasavu artwork, write your greeting and add the sadya time, programme and venue. Upload a photo of last year's pookalam if you like. Share on WhatsApp or email, and guests RSVP from their phones in a tap.

What should be on an Onam celebration invite?

Include the date, the sadya serving time, the venue with a map and any events like a pookalam competition or Thiruvathirakali. A dress code note for kasavu sarees and mundus sets the mood. If the sadya is vegetarian and served on banana leaf, mentioning it helps guests.

How early should I send Onam invitations?

Send them two to three weeks ahead. Onam celebrations stretch from Atham to Thiruvonam, and Malayali families and associations host many events in that period. Early invites help guests choose your date, and caterers often need final sadya numbers several days in advance.

How do I get an accurate count for the sadya?

Ask every guest to RSVP with plus-ones before your caterer deadline. Ocvite shows attending, not attending and maybe responses in real time, so you can share a firm number with the kitchen and avoid wasting leaves, avial, sambar, olan and multiple payasams.

What is traditionally served at an Onam sadya?

A sadya is a vegetarian feast on a banana leaf, often with over twenty items: rice, parippu with ghee, sambar, avial, thoran, olan, kaalan, pachadi, pickles, banana chips, sharkara varatti, pappadam and payasam. The order of serving matters, so many hosts mention the sadya on the invitation.
