The invite usually comes from the elders of the family and leans traditional. With funvite you can keep that feel, an envelope that opens to a card with a mangal kalash or floral border, while still sending it in seconds on WhatsApp. If you are also hosting a modern baby shower with friends, you can add it as a second event on the same invite.
What to include
- The name of the mother-to-be, often as "our daughter-in-law" or "our daughter".
- The hosts, usually the in-laws or the mother's family.
- The ceremony name your family uses (godh bharai, seemantham, valaikappu, sadh, dohale jevan).
- Date, the muhurat or ceremony time, and lunch timing.
- Venue or home address with map link.
- Dress code if any; many families wear green or bright traditional colours, but follow your own custom.
Timing
The ceremony is commonly held in the seventh month, though some families choose the fifth, eighth or ninth based on custom and an auspicious day. Morning ceremonies followed by lunch are common, which keeps it comfortable for the mother.
