What is a good return gift for an engagement ceremony?

Something light and romantic with both names on the tag, such as the Heart Bubble Candle at Rs 249 or the Heart Rope Candle at Rs 279 (shop prices).

Can we order return gifts for a small roka of 30 people?

Yes. Bulk orders start at 10 gifts. For under 10, order straight from the shop.

Should engagement and wedding return gifts be the same?

Better not. Many guests attend both, so choose a different piece for each function.

How quickly can you make engagement return gifts?

The lead time depends on the quantity and your date and is confirmed in your quote. We cannot promise a delivery date.

Engagement return gifts: candles for the roka, sagai or ring ceremony, with both names on the tag

An engagement is the first function the two families host together, so a light, romantic return gift with both names on the tag works: Heart Bubble Candle (Rs 249), Heart Rope Candle (Rs 279) or Floral Candle Duo (Rs 649), shop prices. For 50 to 300 guests; quote at raajkosh.com/corporate.

Key takeaways

Engagement return gifts are lighter than wedding gifts and clearly about the couple.
Heart Bubble Candle Rs 249, Heart Rope Candle Rs 279, Floral Candle Duo Rs 649 (shop prices).
Both names or initials go on the tags.
Engagements are often short notice: ask for the quote the day the date is fixed.

The first gift guests get from the couple

The roka, sagai or ring ceremony is often the first time both families' guests sit in one hall. The return gift is the first thing anyone takes home with the couple's names on it, months before the wedding. It should be lighter than a wedding gift (the bigger spend comes later), clearly about the couple, and pretty enough to post on Instagram.

Raajkosh makes handmade soy wax return gifts for 50 to 300 guests, in your colours, with both names or initials on the tags, delivered to your home or the venue. Ask for a quote at raajkosh.com/corporate and choose "Wedding return gifts".

Romantic pieces at an engagement budget

Shop prices; your quote confirms the final price per gift with tags and delivery.

Piece	Why for an engagement	Shop price
Heart Bubble Candle	White or light blue bubbles dotted with tiny red hearts; sweet, not loud	Rs 249
Heart Rope Candle, single	A heart in a woven rim; pick one colour to match the outfits	Rs 279
Blossom Candle	Pink and yellow wax blossoms; suits a daytime roka	Rs 299
Heart Tealights	Ten red heart tealights; for the couple's friends	Rs 349
Floral Candle Duo	Two wax peonies, one pink and one ivory, a pair like the couple	Rs 649

Keeping the engagement budget sensible

An engagement gift sets the tone for the wedding gifts that follow, so many families keep it modest and save the larger budget for the shaadi. At shop prices:

50 Heart Bubble Candles: Rs 12,450
50 Heart Rope Candles: Rs 13,950
20 Floral Candle Duos for the two sets of parents' closest family: Rs 12,980

For 150 guests, multiply the 50-guest figure by three. Your quote confirms the final price per gift.

Matching the gift to the kind of engagement

A small roka at home (30 to 50 people): one Heart Rope Candle per family in the colour of the bride's outfit. Small counts are fine; bulk orders start at 10.
A large ring ceremony in a banquet hall: the Heart Bubble Candle for everyone, handed out at the exit with the couple's initials on the tag.
A daytime sagai with a pooja: the Blossom Candle, bright and festive without being romantic in front of the elders.
The couple's friends' table: Heart Tealights, which they will use for their own dates.

If the engagement is far from the wedding, it is worth choosing a different piece for each function, so guests who come to both do not get the same thing twice.

Tags that announce the couple

Keep the wording short. "Simran and Arjun" with the word "Engaged", or "S and A". Some families add both surnames. If the two families have different traditions (one prefers Hindi or Gurmukhi, the other English), agree the script before you send it. Send the exact text in your enquiry, with spellings checked by both sides; the quote confirms the wording and the tag style.

Other engagement return gifts

Families also give chocolates in boxes printed with the couple's names, mithai, small potted plants, dry-fruit potlis, and printed bangle boxes for the ladies. Printed chocolates are popular for large ring ceremonies. A candle lasts longer than a sweet and is easier to keep on a shelf than a printed box.
