Naming Ceremony Invitation Maker
For a namkaran, a cradle ceremony or a christening — the card, the map and a reply button.
Without a link, the guest's “Open map” button searches for the venue and address.
Guests get “I'll be there” and “Can't make it” buttons that open a message to this person.

{name} becomes the guest's name and {link} their invitation.
See it as your guest will ↗ · The invitation is inside the link — nothing is stored on a server.
There is no guest list on this device yet. Add your guests in the Guest List Maker and they appear here, each with their own send buttons.
Each button opens that guest's own message, addressed to them by name. A guest is ticked as invited when you tap one — in the Guest List Maker too. Tap the circle to change it.
The naming ceremony card
This page opens on the Moon & stars design in lavender, with the big line reading “Naming Ceremony”. It starts with “With the blessings of our elders” above and “Join us as we name our little one” below. Change the big line to the name your family gives the day: “Namkaran”, “Cradle Ceremony”, “Barasala”, “Thottil”, “Noolukettu”, “Aqiqah”, “Christening”.
Whether to print the name
Families do this both ways, and the card allows both.
- Keep the name for the day. Leave the wording as it is — “our little one” — and the name is heard for the first time at the ceremony.
- Announce it on the card. Put the baby's name in the big line and move the occasion to the line under it: “Aarav” above, “Please join us for his naming ceremony” below.
The time matters more than usual
Naming ceremonies are often held at a time chosen for the day — a muhurtham in the morning — with a meal afterwards. Put the time the ceremony itself starts in “Starts”, so the people who should see it are there, and use “Ends” for when the meal finishes. If the two are far apart, say so in the note: “Ceremony at 9:30, lunch from 12:30”.
A ceremony at home
Most naming ceremonies are at home or at a place of worship, and a home address is harder to find than a hall. Paste a map link for the exact spot — on a phone, open the place in Google Maps, tap Share and copy the link — and the guest's “Open map” button goes straight there. Without a link, the button searches for the venue and address you typed.
The card can be read by anyone who is given the link, so if you would rather not send your address around, put the area on the card (“Our home, Indiranagar”) and tell people the house number when they reply.
Sending it to the elders
Grandparents and older relatives often prefer something on paper, or a phone call. “Download PDF” gives a 5 × 7 inch page to print, and each guest with a phone number in the Guest List Maker gets a Call button there. For everyone else, the WhatsApp message with the link is enough; send it by name so that “& family” is clear.
What is written on a naming ceremony invitation?
The occasion, the date and the time of the ceremony, the place, and who is inviting. The baby's name can be printed or kept for the day. This page starts with “With the blessings of our elders … Join us as we name our little one”.
Can I use it for a cradle ceremony or a christening?
Yes. Type that name in the big line. The Classic and Arch designs suit a ceremony at a place of worship.
Is my home address safe on the invitation?
The invitation is not published anywhere, but anyone who has the link can read what is on it. Put only the area on the card if you prefer, and give the house number to guests directly.
