A naming ceremony invitation message names the parents, the ceremony (namakaranam, barasala, cradle ceremony or naamkaran), the date, muhurtham time and venue, and asks guests to come and bless the baby. If the name is a surprise, leave it out and say it will be announced at the ceremony. This page gives examples in English, Telugu and Hindi.
