Invite your relatives to celebrate the baby’s first full month or first year. The card prints the lunar date the ceremony is scheduled by, and counts the guests for you.
Đầy tháng marks one month, thôi nôi marks one year. They are easy to mix up, and Vietnamese relatives notice immediately when a card has it wrong.
Held when the baby turns one month old. The family lays out an offering to thank the Twelve Midwives, the Bà Mụ, and Đức Ông, the spirits believed to have shaped the child, and then shares the good news with relatives. For many families it is also when the baby’s name is first announced in front of everyone.
Thôi nôi literally means "leaving the cradle", and it falls on the baby’s first birthday. There is another offering to the Bà Mụ, and the part everyone waits for: a few objects — a pen, a comb, a coin — are laid in front of the child, and whichever one they reach for is taken as a playful hint about the life ahead.
Both ceremonies are normally counted from the lunar birth date, not the ordinary one. Many families follow the saying gái lùi hai, trai lùi một — hold it two days earlier for a girl, one day earlier for a boy — and the exact custom varies by region and by family.
Unlike a wedding, a baby’s celebration is usually small: grandparents, aunts and uncles, a few close friends of the parents. Because it is small, knowing the numbers in advance matters more — one table too many or too few is obvious.
The rest of the day will keep you busy enough.
You enter the ordinary date of the party and the card prints the matching lunar date. Grandparents read one, friends put the other in their calendar, and everyone looks at the same card.
Guests tap yes or no and say how many are coming. With only a few tables that number decides whether you book a restaurant or cook at home.
First-month photos, the first time they rolled over, the first crawl — put them all in. Opening the invitation shows how much has changed in a year.
A party at home is usually harder to find than a restaurant. Paste a map link and one tap gives your guests directions right to the lane.
Every guest gets their own link with a greeting written for them — the respectful form for grandparents, something warmer for the parents’ friends.
Everyone’s wishes stay on the invitation, and you can export the card as an image or a short video to post afterwards.
Work out the date the way your family does, then enter the ordinary calendar date. The lunar date is converted for you.
The baby’s name, the parents’ names, the occasion, the time and the place. Every line can be reworded for a baby’s ceremony rather than a wedding.

Đầy tháng celebrates the baby turning one month old. Thôi nôi celebrates the first year — the name means "leaving the cradle". They are eleven months apart and both include an offering to the Bà Mụ, but thôi nôi is usually the bigger occasion and adds the custom of the baby choosing an object.
Most families count from the lunar birth date. Some follow the custom of holding it two days earlier for a girl and one day earlier for a boy; others hold it exactly on the date. Ask the grandparents, because the practice differs from region to region.
Yes. Enter the ordinary date of the party and the card displays the lunar date alongside it, so older guests can see at a glance which day it falls on in the calendar they use.
The current set is designed for weddings, so the tone is elegant and fairly traditional. Since all the wording is yours, they look right for a đầy tháng or thôi nôi. If you want bright nursery colours, there is no template like that yet.
Each occasion is its own invitation with its own link and guest list. The first is 199,000₫ and every one after that is 99,000₫.
There is no cap on guests, whether the invitation is a draft or already open. Show it to your family first in a private preview, before you pay.
Build it free, enter the date and get the lunar one for nothing, then show it to the grandparents first.
