Tusaukeser ("cutting the fetters") marks a child's first steps. The child's legs are loosely tied with a black-and-white cord (ala zhip), and a respected, energetic person cuts it so the child's path through life is open.

What to write

Give the child's name and age, the date and address, and the time of the rite on its own line: it is short, and late guests will miss it.

Agree in advance who will cut the cord. It is an honour, usually given to a grandparent or a respected elder close to the family.
