InvitationsEngagement and roka invitation wording
An engagement is usually a smaller gathering than the wedding, so the invitation can be warmer and shorter. These wordings work for a ring ceremony, sagai or roka. Fill in the names and details once and copy the one that sounds like your family.

What to include
- Names of the couple and the hosting family.
- Whether it is a roka, a ring ceremony or a full engagement function, so guests know how to dress.
- Date, time and venue. For a function at home, give the full address.
- Lunch or dinner, if a meal follows the ceremony.
Tips
- Two to three weeks of notice is comfortable for an engagement. For a roka at home, a week is common.
- Keep the guest list of the engagement inside the guest list of the wedding. Someone invited to the engagement expects a wedding invitation too.
- If the wedding date is fixed, you can add one line about it, so guests can keep the dates free.
Questions people ask
Is a roka the same as an engagement?
Not quite. A roka is the first formal step where both families agree to the match. A ring ceremony or sagai usually comes later and is a larger function. Some families hold both on one day.
Should the invitation mention gifts?
It is not needed. If you prefer no gifts, add a gentle line such as "Your blessings are the only gift we need".
