Indian First Birthday Invitation Wording: English, Hindi and WhatsApp Messages

An Indian first birthday invitation usually comes from the whole family: it names the baby, invites guests for blessings, and lists the puja, the cake cutting and the meal. Many families add a short Hindi line and send it on WhatsApp. Here's wording in English and Hindi you can copy.

What should an Indian first birthday invitation include?

The baby's name, the occasion, who's inviting (parents, often grandparents too), the date, the programme with times, the venue and an RSVP contact. A line asking for blessings is customary.

Part	Example
Opening line	"With the blessings of our elders…"
Occasion	"Aarav's first birthday (Pehla Janamdin)"
Hosts	"Priya & Rohan Sharma, and family"
Programme	"Puja 11 am · Cake cutting 12:30 pm · Lunch 1 pm"

What's good Hindi wording for a first birthday?

A short Hindi line at the top or bottom adds warmth for grandparents and relatives. Keep the details in whichever language most guests read.

हमारे लाडले आरव का पहला जन्मदिन
आप सपरिवार सादर आमंत्रित हैं
आपका आशीर्वाद ही हमारा उपहार है

Transliteration: "Hamare ladle Aarav ka pehla janmdin — aap saparivaar saadar aamantrit hain. Aapka aashirwad hi hamara uphaar hai." (Our darling Aarav's first birthday — you and your family are warmly invited. Your blessings are our gift.)

What WhatsApp message should you send with the invitation?

A short, warm message with the link — personal for close family, simpler for groups.

Namaste Mausi ji 🙏 Our Aarav is turning one! Please join us on Sunday, 13 June for the puja and lunch and give him your blessings. Here's the invitation: [link]

Hi everyone! 🎂 Aarav's first birthday is on 13 June — puja at 11, cake at 12:30, lunch after. All details and RSVP here: [link]

PixerInvite can make a personal link for each family — "Dear Mausi ji" at the top — and the same invitation opens in Hindi or English.

How do you word an Annaprashan invitation?

Annaprashan is the ceremony of a baby's first solid food — usually rice, at five to eight months — known as Mukhe Bhaat in Bengal and Choroonu in Kerala. Many families combine it with a celebration lunch.

We invite you to the Annaprashan ceremony
of our daughter Anaya
Sunday, 9 May · 10:30 am
Followed by lunch
Please come and bless her as she tastes her first rice

For naming ceremonies, see naming ceremony invitation wording.

How do you word gifts, blessings and shagun?

Most families write that blessings are the gift; relatives often give shagun anyway. If you'd like to make it easy, add your UPI or a registry link discreetly.

• "Your blessings are the most precious gift."
• "No gifts, please — just come and bless Aarav."
• "For those who wish to send shagun, our UPI is on the invitation."
