Bride on a Budget: Brilliant Hacks to Plan a Budget Roka Ceremony!

Bride on a Budget: Brilliant Hacks to Plan a Budget Roka Ceremony!

Phew, the hunt for the perfect partner is finally over –  It’s time to let the world know about your exciting news! Getting Rokafied is the Indian version of changing your relationship status on Facebook from single to committed. Sounds easy, right? And we aim to keep it that way with these brilliant hacks for a budget roka!

Roka Ceremony is usually a close-knit celebration with only a handful of VIPs making the cut to your guest list. A lot of couples today choose to combine Roka with an engagement ceremony. But if your budget and schedule allow it, you can have it as a standalone function as well. And that brings us to how we can help you plan a fun roka ceremony without breaking your bank.

As promised, here’s the lowdown on easy hacks for a fun roka ceremony without pinching your wallet a bit. By the time you’re done with this blog, planning a budget roka ceremony of your dreams (the one that your guests will take inspiration from) won’t look like a task anymore. Have a go at it, amigo!

1. Double the Fun with Roka/Engagement Ceremony

Killing two birds with one stone! Why have only one celebration when you can have two at the same cost? When the party hall for Roka Ceremony, Pandit Ji, Mr and Mrs-to-be, and guests are already here – Let’s exchange the rings, we say! Also, Roka ceremony doesn’t take up much time, so it’s only smart to have a fusion ceremony.

2. At-Home Celebration It Is

A Roka is as intimate as it can be, so why spend a bomb on a party hall for Roka Ceremony when you can plan a quirky backyard celebration for the families? Most gated communities today offer a banquet hall facility as well, so that’s one more option at your disposal.

3. Say No to Printed Invitations

What can be more personalized than you picking up the phone and inviting your families and friends over a video call? So let’s put technology to its proper use, shall we?

4. Wise up on Your Wardrobe

Pick an outfit that doesn’t take the lion’s share of your budget for Roka Ceremony and can be re-used later. Also, keeping the upcoming ceremonies in mind, you can only have so many lehengas or gowns without overwhelming your wardrobe. So why not borrow a silk saree from your sister or mom for a cozied-up at-home roka? If you are craving a designer piece, check out the budding labels for an economical steal.

5. DIY the Decor

A backyard roka celebration gives you plenty of space to experiment with decor. Pinwheels, mason jars, seasonal flowers, and whatnot – you will find a lot in your budget. So put on your DIY cap and get down to work, ladies and gentlemen.

6. A Drool-worthy Delight

The way to your guests’ hearts is through their tummies! Your roka event can be a hit or miss depending on this most crucial element – Food. Choose a caterer that knows how to woo your guests with culinary delights. Stick to your budget for Roka Ceremony and resist the temptation of an elaborate and extravagant spread altogether. Keeping the menu limited and simple is the mantra here. 

7. Turn Up the Volume

For a simple roka event, you can totally do away with the DJ, peeps. A quirky playlist and an impressive music system are all you need to show your guests a good time. Browse our blogs for all the peppy numbers for your playlist and ask your friends or cousins to take over the reins while you are busy getting rokafied.

8. Handmade Favors

As you already know your guestlist, whipping up something for favors sounds like a great plan. From fragrant candles and handpainted mugs to planters and dreamcatchers, you can weave in your own magic for a memorable takeaway!
