The naamkaran is often the first time the wider family meets the new baby. Traditionally held around the eleventh or twelfth day, the father or a grandparent whispers the chosen name into the baby’s ear and writes it on a plate of rice, and the name is announced to everyone gathered. Families call it barsa, namakarana, palna or, in many Muslim homes, aqiqah, and each has its own customs.

This free invite page lets you share the date, the puja or ceremony timing and the venue, with a map for relatives coming from out of town. You can even keep the name a secret until the day, and add it to the page afterwards so faraway family can see it. Guests reply with a headcount, and grandparents can read everything in Hindi.

What your guests get

  • Ceremony and lunch timings in one place
  • Map to the home, temple or hall
  • Baby’s first photos, shared privately
  • Optional password for a small family circle
  • RSVP so you know who is coming to bless the baby

Questions

Can I keep the baby’s name a surprise on the invite?

Yes. Write “Baby of Pooja and Aditya” on the invite and reveal the name at the ceremony. You can edit the page afterwards and add the name for relatives who could not attend.

Is it suitable for an aqiqah or a Christian baptism lunch?

Yes. Rename the function to aqiqah, baptism or christening, choose a blessing line that fits, or leave the blessing out. The rest of the page works the same way.

I am not comfortable putting newborn photos online. Is it private?

You can skip photos entirely, or add a password so only invited family can open the page. It is also deleted automatically 7, 30 or 90 days after the ceremony.

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.
