Lohri Party and Pehli Lohri Invitation Wording (Baby's and Newlyweds' First Lohri)

A Lohri invitation needs who's hosting, the date, the bonfire time, the place and a line about dinner — and for a Pehli Lohri, whose first Lohri you're celebrating. Send it two to three weeks ahead. In 2027 Lohri falls on Wednesday, 13 January, so many families host on Lohri night itself or on the weekend before, Saturday 9 January.

What is good wording for a Lohri party invitation?

• Family bonfire party: "Lohri diyan lakh lakh vadhaiyan! Join the Gill family for a Lohri bonfire, dhol and dinner on Wednesday, 13 January from 7 pm."
• Friends: "Rewri, gajak, a big bonfire and bhangra till late — come celebrate Lohri with us on Saturday, 9 January from 7:30 pm. Dress warm!"
• Community or society: "All residents are invited to the society Lohri celebration on the main lawn — bonfire at 7 pm, dhol and dinner after. Families welcome."
• Office: "Happy Lohri, team! Join us for a Lohri bonfire, snacks and music in the courtyard on Tuesday, 12 January at 5 pm."

How do you word a Pehli Lohri invitation for a baby?

Lead with the baby and the joy of the family. Many families now celebrate a daughter's first Lohri just as joyfully as a son's.

• "With joy in our hearts, we invite you to celebrate our little Ekam's first Lohri — bonfire, dhol and dinner on Saturday, 9 January from 7 pm."
• "Our daughter Noor is celebrating her very first Lohri! Please join us for the bonfire and a family dinner on Wednesday, 13 January at 7 pm."
• "Dadi, Dada and the whole Sandhu family invite you to baby Arjan's Pehli Lohri. Your blessings are the only gift we need."

How do you word a first Lohri invitation for newlyweds?

Name the couple and celebrate their first Lohri together: "Please join us to celebrate the first Lohri of Harleen and Aman after their wedding — bonfire, bhangra and dinner on Saturday, 9 January from 7 pm at our home." Add the couple's names in larger type on the card, as you would on a wedding invitation.

What should a Lohri invitation include?

Everything guests need for a winter night outdoors. Use the table as a checklist.

Include	Why
Whose Lohri it is	For a Pehli Lohri, the baby's or the couple's names come first
Date and bonfire time	Guests like to be there when the fire is lit
Venue with a map	Lohri parties are often at a farmhouse, lawn or banquet hall
"Dress warm"	The party is outdoors on a January night
Dinner and music	Makki di roti and sarson da saag, dhol or DJ
Gifts note	For a Pehli Lohri, "your blessings are the only gift" if you'd prefer no gifts
An RSVP date	So you can plan food, seating and heaters

When should you send a Lohri invitation?

Two to three weeks before — for Lohri 2027, by about 20–25 December, before the Christmas and New Year rush. For a big Pehli Lohri at a venue, send it a month ahead so relatives travelling from other cities can plan, and ask for replies a week before.

How do you make a Lohri or Pehli Lohri invitation with RSVPs?

On PixerInvite, choose a Lohri design — Pehli Lohri is made for a baby's or newlyweds' first Lohri, and Bonfire Night, Phulkari and Sarson Sunset suit any Lohri party — then pick "Lohri party (or first Lohri)". Add your names, a photo of the baby or the couple, the bonfire time and the venue with a map, and every guest replies from the invitation into one RSVP list. Share it by WhatsApp, text or email, or download it as a video. Looking for wishes instead? See our Lohri wishes guide.
