+# Create A Custom Named References Column
+
+The `t.references` and `add_reference` methods both create a foreign key column
+name based on the target table.
+
+For instance,
+
+```ruby
+add_reference :guests, :user, foreign_key: true, index: true, null: false
+```
+
+would create a `user_id` column on the `guests` table.
+
+At times, you'll need to customize the name of the foreign key column. The
+Rails migration DSL supports this with the `foreign_key` option.
+
+Here is an example that shows the syntax for both a new table and an existing
+table.
+
+```ruby
+class AddInvitedByColumnToUser < ActiveRecord::Migration[6.1]
+  def change
+    create_table :guests, id: :uuid do |t|
+      t.string :email, null: false
+      t.timestamps
+
+      t.references :invited_by,
+        type: :uuid,
+        index: true,
+        null: false,
+        foreign_key: { to_table: :users }
+    end
+
+    add_reference :guests, :signed_up_as,
+      type: :uuid,
+      index: true,
+      null: false,
+      foreign_key: { to_table: :users }
+  end
+end
+```
+
+The `t.references` call creates a foreign key column to the `users` table named
+`invited_by`. The `add_reference` call adds a `signed_up_as` foreign key column
+to `guests` that points to users.
