The annaprashan marks the day a baby tastes solid food for the first time, usually around six months for a boy and a little earlier or later for a girl, depending on family custom. In Bengal it is the much-loved mukhe bhaat, with a maternal uncle feeding payesh from a silver spoon. In Kerala it is choroonu, often held at Guruvayur, and in many homes the baby is offered a tray of books, coins and a pen to see what they pick first.

This free invite page lists the ceremony and the meal clearly, shows the venue on a map, and lets you add a few photos of the baby. Relatives reply with a headcount, so the cook or caterer knows how many to plan for, and grandparents can switch the whole page to Hindi.

What your guests get

  • Ceremony time and the meal that follows
  • Directions to the home, temple or hall
  • A few photos from baby’s first months
  • Hindi and English toggle for elders
  • RSVP with headcount for the bhoj

Questions

Can I call it mukhe bhaat or choroonu instead of annaprashan?

Yes. Rename the function in your own words in both English and Hindi, and the page will use exactly what you write.

Our ceremony is at a temple and lunch is at home. Can I show both?

Yes. Add them as two functions with their own addresses and maps. Guests can tap directions for each one.

How soon should I send the invite?

Ten to fourteen days before is usually right for family functions like this, with a gentle reminder two days before.

Free, no app for guests. Your invite, photos and replies are stored until 7, 30 or 90 days after the last function (you choose) and then permanently deleted. Privacy notes.
