Naming ceremony invitations: namkaran, aqiqah, naming day

Families send these to invite relatives to the ceremony where a newborn is given its name. Each card carries its own title and motifs: Namkaran Ceremony with a decorated wooden cradle, Aqiqah with a crescent moon and stars, and Naming Day with a small tree. A blank panel holds the baby's name and the details. The nine samples are three ceremonies in three finishes. Type a direction, such as pastel green, and the layout takes it.

• an invitation to a Namkaran at home
• an Aqiqah invitation for relatives
• a secular naming day with friends
• a card for family who travel to the ceremony

Frequently asked questions

Which naming ceremonies are shown?

A Namkaran, the Hindu naming ceremony, an Aqiqah, the Muslim naming ceremony, and a secular naming day.

Are the motifs specific to each tradition?

Yes: a wooden cradle for the Namkaran, a crescent moon and stars for the Aqiqah, and a tree with fresh leaves for a naming day.

What is the difference between the finishes?

Watercolor uses soft marigold, blush and cream, flat vector uses warm saffron, teal and cream, and gold foil is ivory card with gold foil and deep teal.

Can I type a different direction?

Yes. Type a direction such as for a girl as a request; the samples show the three ceremonies, and a request is not a promised result.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
