Some parts of the ordain day, such as the blessing by monks in the morning, will only be attended by relatives and close friends of the Naga. Ordaining invitations list the times that each of the most important ceremonies start. The timing of the Buddhist ceremony is set to ensure good luck and will commence at an auspicious time such as 09.09 (9 is a lucky number in Thailand). Thai people aren’t generally renowned for their punctuality, but they will pay particular attention to ordain times to ensure good luck for the couple being married. When it comes to the evening feast or ordain reception, invitations are more casual and a verbal invite can suffice.
