A roka is when two families formally accept the match, usually with shagun, sweets and blessings in a small, close gathering. Ocvite helps you design a roka ceremony invitation that feels warm and personal, send it only to the relatives you choose and confirm who will attend.
Every guest replies from the invitation itself. Meal choices, plus-ones and headcount stay in one tidy list, so you can focus on the roka ceremony.
Begin Your Guest ListWith the blessings of Waheguru and our elders, the [Family Name] family invites you to the roka of [Name] with [Name] on [Date] at [Time], at [Venue]. Your presence will bless the new bond.
Our families are coming together. Please join us for [Name] and [Name]'s roka at [Venue] on [Date], [Time], followed by lunch. Kindly let us know by [RSVP date] if you can make it.
It is official. [Name] and [Name]'s roka is on [Date] at [Time], [Venue]. Just close family, sweets, shagun and blessings, followed by lunch. Please confirm through the invite by [RSVP date].
Invite only grandparents, parents, siblings and close relatives, and track each reply so the gathering stays intimate.
Use marigold, red and gold palettes and add a family photo to reflect the auspicious start.
Note when the shagun exchange begins, whether it is at home or a venue, and any lunch or dinner.
Rokas are often arranged at short notice, so send the invite instantly over WhatsApp to each household.
Keep your roka intimate and well organised, with a private guest list and replies from every elder you invite.
Start Your InvitationTick these off before the invite goes out so guests have everything they need.
Pick a traditional template, add the families' names, a photo if you like, and the roka date, time and venue. Include whether a meal follows. Then send the invite privately to close relatives on WhatsApp or email, and each person can reply attending, not attending or maybe from their phone.
Mention the names of the boy and girl, which family is hosting, the date, start time and address, whether it is held at home, a gurudwara, a temple or a banquet hall, and any meal planned afterwards. A short line about the families coming together sets the right tone for this occasion.
Rokas are often fixed soon after the match is agreed, sometimes within a week or two. Because guests are mainly close family, one to two weeks of notice usually works. A digital invite lets you share instantly once the date is decided and send a reminder the day before.
Add each household to your guest list and let them reply through the invite. You will see responses in real time, including how many family members each household is bringing. That makes it simple to plan sweets, gifts and seating space at home or in a small hall.
Customs vary by region and family, but a roka typically marks the formal acceptance of the match. Families exchange shagun, sweets, dry fruits and gifts, elders bless the couple, and the bride may be given a chunni while the groom receives a tikka. It is often followed by a meal together.
