Help me write and invite for a chatti ceremony where we intend to name the child

Tips to customize
- If you follow a specific Digambar/Shwetambar practice, you can add a short verse or prayer: for example, a brief Namokar Mantra or a benediction requesting auspiciousness for the child.
- Include any dress code if you have one (e.g., “Traditional attire requested”).
- If you’d like, I can tailor the text to match your family’s preferred prayers or a specific name you’re considering.
Would you like me to format this as a single printable card and add a chosen name and exact date/time once you provide them?
