- For Little Houses with a designated recipient, the recipient field on the right of the Little House should be filled in prior to recitation. For Little Houses reserved for future use, this field can be left blank; it can be filled in right before burning the Little House.
- The left side of the Little House, under “Offered By:”, is strictly to be filled in with the name of the reciter(s) by the reciter(s) personally prior to recitation.
- Do not put the date on the left-hand field of the Little House until the recitation is fully complete (use either the date of completion or the date of burning). Generally, for Little Houses reserved for future use, the date can be left blank until the day of burning (alternatively, you may fill in the date of completion). Dates can be written in either Arabic numbers or in letters, arranged horizontally (refer to Figure 11).
- Generally, do not fill in the “Offer To:” and “Offered By:” fields of the Little Houses in large quantities beforehand. Only fill in these fields for the specific number of Little Houses that you are likely to recite for the day.
