Baby shower invitations: godh bharai, dohale jevan, seemantham
Indian baby showers have regional names and rituals — godh bharai in the North, dohale jevan (डोहाळे जेवण) in Maharashtra, seemantham and valaikappu in the South — and the invitation usually comes from the mother-to-be’s family or in-laws.
Pick wording for your tradition and open it in a soft, pastel design.
