Here are the few events to think about when expecting:
Gender Reveal
Gender reveal parties are typically planned mid-pregnancy around 20 weeks. During your midwife’s visit you can usually detect the baby’s gender. The gender of the baby is kept secret throughout the planning process so this can be hosted by anyone. Ask the mid-wife to write the gender on a paper and let the host plan the party telling only those that need to know!! This is a fun way to reveal the gender to your close family and friends.
Valaikappu
is a ceremony and celebration held by Hindu, Muslim and Christian women meant to bless a pregnant woman, celebrate her fertility, and ensure a safe birth. It is hosted by the pregnant woman’s family during the third trimester of the pregnancy in husband’s birth or lived place on 7th month specially.
Baby Shower
is a party of gift-giving or a ceremony that has different names in different cultures. It celebrates the delivery or expected birth of a child or the transformation of a woman into a mother.
Teething Ceremony
(‘Kozhukkattai’ in Tamil) should be done when the child’s first tooth begins to appear. During the ceremony, the child is sat inside an arasi muram(a rattan sieve used to shift rice grains) with a white cloth placed on his head. The kozhukattai is then dropped over the child’s head. While preparing the kozhukattai, a coin would have been placed in one of the many kozhukattai. The child is expected to pick up the kozhukattai with the coin inside it, but whatever the child picks up; everyone will cheer as the child slowly nibbles on the sweet kozhukattai with his brand new teeth.”
Sip & See
It is a small party or “open house” where your friends and family can come over to meet (or “see”) your new baby while sipping on a few refreshments. What a way to meet your new-born in style.
