Engagement Invitation Wording Tool
Generate engagement, roka, sagai and tilak invitation wording with family names, date, muhurat time and venue.
The Engagement Invitation Wording Tool turns family names, a date, a start time and a venue into complete invitation text for a roka, sagai, tilak or engagement ceremony, in English, Hindi or Hinglish. The wording changes with which side is inviting — a bride's family says 'their daughter', a groom's family says 'their son', and a joint invitation names both — because that is what printed Indian cards actually do. The date is validated against the Gregorian calendar, including the leap-year rule, and the weekday is computed with Zeller's congruence so the card never shows a day that does not exist.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a roka and a sagai?
A roka is the first formal step, where the two families agree to the match and 'stop' looking further; it is usually small and held at home. A sagai or engagement is the ring ceremony that follows, often larger and with a fixed muhurat. Tilak is the equivalent ceremony held at the groom's side in parts of North India.
How should engagement invitation wording start?
Traditional Indian cards open with a blessing line such as 'With the blessings of the Almighty and our elders' or '॥ श्री गणेशाय नमः ॥', then name the inviting family, then the couple, then the date, time and venue. Modern cards replace the blessing line with a casual announcement, then name the family, the couple, and the date, time and venue.
Whose name comes first on an engagement invitation?
On a card printed by the bride's family the bride's name usually comes first, and the reverse on the groom's side. On a joint invitation the names are often set alphabetically or with the bride first. There is no rule, so match whatever the elders on both sides have agreed.
Should the invitation show the muhurat time or the arrival time?
Print the time you want guests to arrive, and mention the muhurat separately if the ritual starts later. Guests read the printed time as when to reach the venue, so putting only the muhurat there is the most common cause of a half-empty hall at the start.
