When a baby is born, it marks a pivotal moment, not just for the young parents but also for the entire family. But have you ever wondered about the traditions associated with a baby's birth in Chinese culture?
In particular, why do we host a 100 days celebration for babies?
Typically, in Chinese culture, the first significant event after a baby's birth is the full-month celebration.
However, the tradition doesn't stop there. Many families choose to wait till the 100th day to throw a grand celebration. This custom has also found its way into other Asian countries, and for good reasons.
In the past, infant mortality rates were high. If a baby reached the 100-day mark, it was considered a promising sign of survival and future prosperity.
Today, this milestone is widely celebrated as a nod to older family traditions and a way to commemorate the health and growth of the child.
Party planning for a 100 days celebration, also known as the full month party, can be both exciting and overwhelming. From choosing a party theme to deciding the menu, every detail counts.
But worry not, because we're here to make it easier and sweeter for you.
As the party theme sets the tone for the celebration, consider something cute and meaningful.
For instance, you could go for a "growing garden" theme, symbolising growth and prosperity, or a "twinkle twinkle little star" theme, reflecting the bright future you envisage for your little one.
In essence, the 100 days celebration isn't just about following a tradition; it's about coming together as a family to celebrate the growth, health, and happiness of the newest family member.
As young parents, you might find yourselves juggling numerous responsibilities. But remember, this celebration isn't about perfection; it's about marking an essential milestone in your child's life. It's about joy, love, and the promise of wonderful days to come.
No party is complete without some sweet delights. Red eggs and ginger are traditional items symbolising happiness and renewal.
However, you can always put a modern spin on these traditional elements.
