In short

You can make a roka ceremony invitation online for free with IndiaDigital Invites: choose one of 16 roka ceremony themes, add each function (Roka & shagun and Family dinner) with date, time, venue and a map, write the words in English and Hindi (or another Indian language), and share one link on WhatsApp. Guests need no app or login, RSVP is optional, and the page is deleted 7, 30 or 90 days after the event.

A roka is usually the first time both families sit together as future relatives. It is often fixed within days of the rishta being agreed, held at the girl’s or boy’s home, and kept to the people who would be hurt not to be told: grandparents, chachas and mamas, a few close family friends. The boy’s side brings shagun, sweets and dry fruits, the elders exchange blessings, and the evening ends with a family dinner. In Punjabi and Sindhi homes there may be a chunni ceremony, and Sikh families often begin with an ardas.

Because the notice is so short, a printed card is rarely possible, and a plain text message can feel too casual for a day this important. This free invite page gives the roka a proper invitation: the shagun time and dinner on one link, a Google Maps button for relatives coming from across the city, and an RSVP that tells you how many people each family is bringing. Send a personal link to each household so the page opens with their name, and switch between Hindi and English with one tap for the elders.

What your guests get

  • Roka, shagun and dinner timings on one page
  • Directions to your home with a single tap
  • RSVP with the number of family members coming
  • Personal links that greet each family by name
  • A short photo story of the couple, if you want one

Questions

Is a roka invitation different from an engagement invitation?

A roka is usually smaller and more private, the families formally agree to the match, often at home. The engagement or ring ceremony comes later with a bigger guest list. This page is set up for a roka, with shagun and dinner; you can make a separate engagement page when that date is fixed.

Can I add a chunni ceremony or an ardas?

Yes. Tap to add a chunni ceremony, an ardas or a puja, or rename any function in your own words. Each one gets its own time and can have its own venue.

We only have three days’ notice. Is that enough?

The page takes a few minutes to make and is live the moment you publish. Send it on WhatsApp the same day and call the elders personally, the link carries the details so they do not have to remember them.

Free, no app for guests. Your invite, photos and replies are stored until 7, 30 or 90 days after the last function (you choose) and then permanently deleted. Privacy notes.
