Newborn announcement and aqiqah cards
After a birth come three moments: the announcement, the reception where women congratulate the mother, and the aqiqah. Each has its own wording, and all are shared on WhatsApp and status.
In short
A newborn announcement is shared on WhatsApp and status with the baby's name, the parents and the birth date; an aqiqah invitation adds the date and venue. The newborn pack is a card plus a calligraphy name video at QAR 500, ready within 3–5 days.
Announcement, reception and aqiqah
- The announcement: «رزقنا الله بـ …» (God has blessed us with …), «حمداً لله على سلامة الأم» (thank God the mother is well).
- The newborn reception («استقبال المولود»): a ladies' gathering to congratulate the mother, at home or a small hall.
- The aqiqah: usually on the seventh day, a family lunch or dinner, often with men and women separate.
Phrasings in use
- «بفضل من الله رزقنا بمولودنا …» (by God's grace we welcome our baby …)
- «قرّت أعيننا بـ …» (our eyes are delighted by …)
- «يسعدنا دعوتكم لمشاركتنا عقيقة ابننا / ابنتنا …» (please join us for the aqiqah of our son / daughter)
- «جعله الله من مواليد السعادة وأقرّ به أعين والديه» (may God make the child a blessing to the parents)
Privacy for mother and child
We never use photos of the baby or the mother in the design. The card is built on the baby's name in calligraphy, calm colours and drawings, and the date.

Questions we hear often
What is the difference between the newborn announcement and the save the date?
The newborn announcement is a newborn or aqiqah card with the calligraphy name video (QAR 500). The save the date is a short interactive page before any occasion (QAR 350).
Do you write the baby's name in calligraphy?
Yes, the name is written by hand in the studio and drawn letter by letter in the video with the family's dua.
Can I send a men's and a ladies' aqiqah invitation?
Yes: one design in two versions, each with its own venue and time.
