Hosts & Families Often Ask

How do I create a naming celebration invite on Ocvite?

Browse the naming ceremony templates, choose one that suits your style, and edit the wording, colours and photo. Add the date, time and venue, plus a schedule if there is a religious ceremony before a meal. Then share the link by WhatsApp or email, and follow replies as they come in.

What information do guests need for a naming event?

Guests need the date, start time, location with a map, and whether the event includes a religious rite, a meal or both. If the venue is a place of worship, note any dress or head-covering customs. Let families know if children are welcome, and add an RSVP date for catering.

When should naming invitations be sent?

Timing depends on your tradition: some names are given within days of birth, while secular naming days may be held months later. For a planned gathering, two to three weeks of notice suits most guests. If the date is set by custom shortly after birth, a quick WhatsApp share a few days ahead is perfectly acceptable.

Can I see how many adults and children are coming?

Yes. Guests can tell you how many people are joining them when they reply, and you see attending, not attending and maybe in real time. That helps when you need separate counts for a place of worship, a caterer, or a play corner for older siblings and cousins.

Should I keep the baby's name secret on the invitation?

That is entirely your choice. Many parents enjoy a reveal moment at the ceremony and simply write 'Baby [Surname]' on the card. Others print the name proudly so far-off relatives can learn it straight away. You can always update the invitation text after the event to share the name with those who could not attend.

Keep Track of Every Guest

Family and friends reply right from the invite. You see the numbers update as they come in.
