An engagement is often the first function the two families host together, so the card sets the tone for everything that follows. It's shorter than a wedding card — one ceremony, one time, one place.

What the card should say

  1. A heading — "Engagement Ceremony", "Ring Ceremony", "Sagai" or "Roka".
  2. An invitation line — who is inviting, and to what.
  3. Both names — the couple, with their parents' names if your family prefers it.
  4. Date, time and venue.
  5. Your family's name and an RSVP number.

English wording

With joy in our hearts, we invite you to the engagement ceremony of Rahul & Priya on 13 December 2026, 7 pm, at Shree Palace Banquet, Jaipur. — The Sharma & Verma Families

A short WhatsApp line to go with the card:

We're delighted to share that Rahul and Priya are getting engaged! 💍 Please join us on 13 December at 7 pm — details on the card.

Hindi में

॥ श्री गणेशाय नमः ॥ ईश्वर की कृपा से हमारे सुपुत्र चि. राहुल एवं आयु. प्रिया की सगाई (रिंग सेरेमनी) का शुभ कार्यक्रम 13 दिसंबर 2026, शाम 7 बजे, श्री पैलेस बैंक्वेट, जयपुर में आयोजित है। आप सपरिवार सादर आमंत्रित हैं। स्वागतोत्सुक: शर्मा परिवार

Roka vs Sagai vs ring ceremony

  • Roka — a small, often family-only function where the match is formally fixed. A simple card or just a WhatsApp message is common.
  • Sagai / Engagement — bigger, with relatives and friends; ring exchange, blessings and dinner.
  • Ring ceremony — many families use this name for the Sagai itself.

Use whichever word your family uses — guests just need to know what the evening is.

Small things that help

  • If the wedding date is fixed, you can add "Wedding: 14 December" as a second line — guests start planning early.
  • Mention dinner if it's included.
  • For a joint function hosted by both families, sign it from both: "The Sharma & Verma Families".

Make the card

The Engagement Invitation Maker shows both names, the date and venue on every design at once — the same designs as our wedding cards, so the Sagai and wedding invites can match. Switch to Hindi for सगाई wording, then download for WhatsApp or print.
