Turkish Sünnet (Circumcision Celebration) Invitation Wording: Examples
What a Turkish sünnet invitation includes and translated examples of short, religious, playful, child's-voice and sibling invitation lines.
A sünnet celebration marks a boy's circumcision with prayers, a meal and often a festive party. Turkish sünnet invitations therefore range from formal and religious to playful lines written in the child's voice.
What does a sünnet invitation include?
An invitation line, the child's name (two names for brothers), the family name, the program (mevlüt prayers, meal and party times), date, venue and a reply-by date.
Example invitation lines
- Short: "We would love you to share the joy of our son's sünnet."
- Religious: "Following the Sunnah of the Prophet, we are holding our son's sünnet. We kindly ask you to join us with your prayers."
- In the child's voice: "My cape and hat are ready; only you are missing. Come to my sünnet party!"
- Brothers: "Two brothers, one celebration! You are invited to their sünnet party."
