Lohri falls on 13 January, the night before Maghi, and in Punjabi homes it is one of the happiest evenings of winter. A bonfire is lit after sunset, people circle it throwing in rewri, gajak, peanuts, popcorn and til, and the dhol starts for bhangra and gidda. A baby’s first Lohri or a newly married couple’s first Lohri is a much bigger affair, with relatives, gifts, a DJ and a full dinner of sarson da saag and makki di roti, often in a lawn or banquet hall rather than at home.
This free invite page puts the bonfire, bhangra and dinner on one link, each with a time, a Google Maps button and a dress note like “phulkari and kurta-pyjama”. Guests reply with how many are coming, which matters when you are booking a caterer and counting chairs around the fire. Add a few photos of the baby or the couple, and write the page in Punjabi or Hindi alongside English so grandparents read it comfortably.
