Writing it with care

Say who hosts. It's usually the in-laws (हमारी बहू) or the mother's own family (हमारी बिटिया); the wording changes accordingly.
Keep it neutral about the baby. Don't mention a boy or girl; prenatal sex determination is illegal in India.
Say if it's for women only. Many families keep the godh bharai ladies-only; write "केवल महिलाओं के लिए" if so.
Use आप forms throughout. And check आशीर्वाद, प्रार्थनीय and पधारें for spelling.
Give the muhurat if there is one. Some families time the ceremony by an auspicious hour.

Godh bharai is a family filling a mother's lap with love, months before the baby arrives.

The ceremony itself is gentle: the mother-to-be sits with her lap filled with fruit, sweets and dry fruits, and the women of the family bless her one by one. Mentioning that on the invitation helps guests who haven't attended one know what to bring and expect.

If the godh bharai and a modern baby shower happen on the same day, list them as two parts of one celebration, with times.

Many families hold it in the seventh month of pregnancy, though the month differs by region and family custom. Ask your elders or priest.
