Kiddush invitation wording נוסח הזמנה לקידושא רבא

When a girl is born, the father makes a kiddush in shul on Shabbos morning. The card names the reason, the Shabbos and the parsha, the shul and the time of davening, and the father.

The wording, line by line

    1The invitation, with thanks for all the good Hashem has done.

  2. קידושא רבא

    2The headline.

For other simchas too

The same card works for a kiddush on another Shabbos simcha. Only the לרגל line changes: write what the kiddush is for.

Shabbos only

A kiddush is on Shabbos morning, so there is no English date or clock time for the kiddush itself; the time on the card is when davening starts.
