Engagement invitation messages for WhatsApp, in English and Hindi
Engagement invitation messages for a roka, sagai or ring ceremony, in English and Hindi, with short WhatsApp versions and what to include.
The short answer
An engagement invitation message names the couple and the ceremony (roka, sagai, ring ceremony or engagement), gives the date, time and venue, says who is inviting, and asks for a reply by a date. On WhatsApp, keep it to five or six lines and put the full details, the map and the RSVP behind one link.
What an engagement invitation should say
An engagement is the time between the promise to marry and the wedding itself, and many families mark its start with a ceremony.[1] The invitation for it is usually shorter and more personal than a wedding card, but guests still need the same basics:
- Who is getting engaged: both first names, and the parents’ names on a formal invitation.
- Which ceremony: roka, sagai, mangni, ring ceremony or engagement party. Use the word your family uses.
- When and where: day, date, time and the venue, with a map link.
- Who is inviting: the families, or the couple themselves.
- How to reply: a date to RSVP by, especially when it is a smaller gathering.
- Dress code or a note, only if there is one.
