Puttu ventrukalu invitation card in Telugu (పుట్టు వెంట్రుకలు)
In Telugu families the first haircut is puttu ventrukalu (birth hair), very often done as a vow at Tirupati, Srisailam or the family's kula daivam temple. Many families search for it as a jadula card or a hair-cutting ceremony card — the wording is the same.
శుభ ఆహ్వానం 🙏
మా చిరంజీవి [పేరు] పుట్టు వెంట్రుకలు తీసే వేడుక [తేదీ]న [సమయం] గంటలకు [వేదిక / ఆలయం]లో జరుగుతుంది.

Ee shubha sandarbhaniki mimmalni sakutumba saparivaaranga aahvanistunnamu. Mee aasheessule maa biddaku aayuraarogyaalu. Bhojanam: [samayam]. — [tallidandrulu] mariyu [kutumbam].
Need a different opening line or a shorter version? The invitation wording generator drafts one from the child's name, date and venue.
What a mundan invitation card should include
- The child's name — with chi. (chiranjeevi) in Hindi and Telugu cards, and a pet name in brackets if everyone knows the baby by it.
- Parents' names, and grandparents' names if they are hosting — the elders' blessing is the point of the day.
- Date and muhurat — the auspicious time matters more than the hour the meal starts; print both.
- Venue or temple — Tirupati, Haridwar, Srisailam, the kula devta temple, or the family home. If it is a temple trip, add the gathering point and a contact number.
- Bhoj / lunch — say clearly that a meal follows, and whether it is at the temple hall or back at home.
Mundan card design: motifs that read right
A kalash with mango leaves and a coconut, a child silhouette or a pair of tiny footprints, marigold garlands, a diya, and for Telugu families a temple gopuram. Keep the palette warm — yellow, saffron, soft peach — and leave the centre of the card for the child's name in large type. Browse the mundan card designs for these motifs ready-made; the same families usually pair them with a naming ceremony card earlier and an annaprashan card for the first solid food.
