Copy ## What to include in a naming ceremony invitation message Check the message covers these points before you send it, so no guest has to ask you for details later. - Whose baby it is: the parents' names and, if the grandparents are hosting, theirs too. - The baby's date of birth or age, and son or daughter. Guests choose the gift and the colour by that line. - The puja time, the naming muhurat and the lunch time as separate lines. - The full address with the tower, the flat number and a landmark, and where to park. - Whether gifts are expected, and whether the ladies of the family are especially requested for the barsa. - A reply-by date tied to the caterer. ### Before you send - Give the naming muhurat its own time. Elders want to be in the room when the name is whispered, and lunch guests can come later. - Say whether the function is a namkaran with havan, a barsa with the cradle, or both. The words tell the family what to wear and what to bring. - Mention the baby's age. A twelfth-day barsa and a six-month namkaran with annaprashan are different mornings. - Send it ten days ahead for a home function and two weeks for a temple hall with relatives travelling, and send a short reminder the evening before with the address again. ## Send the naming ceremony invitation on WhatsApp with one-tap replies Paste the message once and every family receives it individually on WhatsApp with Yes, No and Maybe buttons.
