- We are working to a short timeline. Can you manage it?
- Naming ceremonies are usually held within the first weeks after birth, so short notice is normal for this occasion. Tell us your date when you message and we will say honestly whether we can meet it.
- Do we have to reveal the name on the invitation?
- No. Many families keep the name for the ceremony itself and the invitation simply says the naming will take place. Others announce it. Both are common and the invitation can be written either way.
- Can it be in our regional language?
- Yes, in the correct script — Namakaranam, Barsa, Palana and the regional terms for the ceremony can appear as your family uses them.
- Can we ask guests not to bring gifts?
- Yes, a short line on the invitation handles that.
