Mundan ceremony invitations for a child's first haircut

Mundan, also called chudakarana or chaula, is the ceremony of a child's first haircut, one of the traditional Hindu sanskaras. It is usually done in the first, third or fifth year, on a date chosen by the family priest, at home, at a temple, or at a pilgrimage site like a riverbank. The child's head is shaved, often by a barber in the presence of a priest, and the family celebrates with a meal and blessings.

    Track RSVPs

    On Pro (₹99), guests reply inside the invite and you see who is coming to each event.

Because mundan is often held at a temple or in another town, the invite has to give directions and timings clearly. A funvite invite can show the muhurat, the temple or venue with a map pin, travel notes, and the lunch afterwards, all in a short link that relatives can open from anywhere.

What to include

  • The child's name, and the parents and grandparents as hosts.
  • Name of the ceremony as your family calls it (mundan, chudakarana, chaula, or another regional name).
  • Date and muhurat.
  • Temple, home or venue address with map link; travel notes if it is out of town.
  • Lunch or bhoj timing and venue, if different.

Practical notes

Mornings are common, and young children are happier early and well-fed, so plan around their routine. If the ceremony is at a temple with limited space, you might invite close family for the ritual and everyone else for the meal. Customs vary widely across regions and communities, so check details with your family priest.
