In the examples the mother-to-be is Priya, the function is on Saturday 21 November at 4 pm at Shubh Party Lawn, Surat. Change these to yours. Keep {{name}} as it is, because it becomes each guest's name when you send.
Some templates use {{date}}, {{time}} or {{venue}}. These are columns in your Excel sheet. If the details are the same for everyone, type them straight into the message. Use a column only when they differ, such as a ladies-only puja at 11 am and a family dinner at 7 pm.

Print each guest's name on the baby shower card
A card with 'Dear Meena Masi' printed on it feels much more personal than a forwarded image. In Rapid Sender you upload your baby shower card once as a PDF or image, drag a name box onto it, and choose the font, size and colour. Every guest then receives their own card with their name on it.
Gujarati and Hindi fonts are included, so names written as પ્રિયા or प्रिया print correctly. When you send a PDF, WhatsApp shows the first page of the card in the chat, with your message as the caption.

Etiquette tips for a baby shower invitation
Godh Bharai and Srimant are usually held in the 7th or 8th month. Send invitations 10 to 14 days before.
Many families keep the ritual for women and invite men for the dinner. Say clearly who is invited, or use a separate message for each group.
Call the elders on both sides personally before sending the card.
Do not ask about gifts in the message. If you want to suggest something, keep it gentle.
Keep the mother's comfort in mind: a shorter function and a clear end time help.
Send a reminder only the evening before, and a thank-you note after the event.
Frequently asked questions
What is Godh Bharai?
Godh Bharai is the North Indian baby shower ritual, usually in the 7th month of pregnancy, where women of the family fill the mother-to-be's lap with fruits, sweets and gifts and bless her and the baby. In Gujarat it is called Srimant or Kholo Bharvo, and in South India Seemantham or Valaikaapu.
What is good baby shower invitation wording for an Indian family?
Mention the mother-to-be, the date, time and place, and ask for blessings. For example: "Dear {{name}}, with joy we invite you to the baby shower of our daughter-in-law Priya on 21 November at 4 pm. Please come and bless the mother and the little one."
What is the Srimant invitation wording in Gujarati?
"જય શ્રી કૃષ્ણ {{name}}, અમારી પુત્રવધૂ પ્રિયાનો સીમંત પ્રસંગ 21 નવેમ્બરે રાખેલ છે. આપ સહપરિવાર પધારી આશીર્વાદ આપશો." Change the name and date to yours.
Can I send a baby shower invitation on WhatsApp?
Yes, it is the most common way today. Send it personally to each guest rather than in a big group, and call the elders first.
How do I add each guest's name to the invitation?
Put {{name}} in the message and, if you like, place a name box on your card in Rapid Sender. Each guest gets the message and the card with their own name, sent from your WhatsApp.
