Get Your Roka Rollin’: Crucial Tips for a Perfect Roka Ceremony!

1. Simple & Cute Invites

Now the first thing to do is to curate the Roka ceremony invitation. You need a nice, innovative yet simple way to invite all your guests. Whether you are doing a small at-home thing or a bigger one at the venue, you need an invite. It’s always nice to invite your loved one with love and consideration. Either way, making a simple Roka invite is an easy task. Either you could do it yourself or hire someone to do the job for you. The latter is ideal because it will save you time as well and you would get some great personalised designs as well. Such nice simple designs are perfect and can very easily be shared over WhatsApp which makes the job much easier for you.

2. Venue for the Roka Ceremony

You could very well do your Roka ceremony at home! With the lockdown, the trend has definitely picked up as well. Since it’s a small announcement event you don’t really need to go to a banquet. Unless of course, you are someone who loves going all out for your events, then that is game too! For home setups you could do some beautiful decor, there are a lot of vendors who create beautiful at-home setups which would be perfect for your Roka. If you would like your Roka to be a bigger announcement, then definitely you could book a banquet as well. It doesn’t have to be something too big, something simple yet decent for a lovely intimate ceremony.

3. Decor

Of course, the venue only lights up with some good decor right? So the next important step is to consider the decor. Once you’ve decided whether you want to do something at home or outside you can accordingly plan out the decor. Make sure you decide on a theme you want for your event. By theme we mean, if there’s a specific colour you wish to play around with, decide on that first. And we recommend that really is the way to go. After that, you could definitely hire a team of experts who will make the task much easier for you wherever you might be having the event. However, if you are someone who loves doing decor then only do that for a Roka at home.

4. The Perfect Outfits

Next in line of course is your Roka ceremony dress. It’s an extremely essential part of your day. Of course, you have to look your best right? Now as it is a smaller event you don’t have to go overboard for the outfit. Something light, and simple yet something that still stands out is what you need. If it’s a home event then you could go for a pretty suit, a simple sharara set or even a light georgette drape saree. However, if you are doing a banquet Roka then you could very well opt for a lehenga as well. It can be a light, pretty lehenga otherwise you could also consider an indo-western gown. Both options would work well.

5. The Most Important Part of The Roka Ceremony – Gifting

Roka is actually one of the events where gifting is the most important bit. You are finalising your union and the families are going to be getting to know one another. Hence, this is exactly the event where gifting would be needed. The in-laws, the bride, the groom everybody needs to be presented with the perfect gift. However, whatever you give might still end up being secondary. What’s the most important when it comes to gifting is the packaging. That has to be beautiful. So we highly recommend hiring someone who does trousseau packaging, to make the gifts all the more special.

6. Finding the Perfect Vendor

To answer what is Roka ceremony exactly, it’s basically an opportunity to test out your vendors. It’s a relatively smaller event so when it comes to vendors you can try taking a bit of a gamble. If you do end up liking a particular vendor then you know you can finalise them for the bigger events too! That is the best strategy to adopt to ensure everything goes well on your wedding day. Make sure you are booking a good makeup artist, photographer/videographer, caterer, decorator etc. A lot you are going to have to consider.

7. Plan Games & Stuff

This is an event where the families would meet for the first time. There’s no doubt in it that everybody will be slightly nervous. Hence, it’s important to break the ice and how do we do that? Games! There’s no better way to help make everyone comfortable with one another. Yes, it’s a bit of a new idea when it comes to Rokas but it will definitely work. You don’t have to play something too big, it can be simple and small games that will get everyone laughing and having a good time!
