It is tremendously thrilling to commemorate your newborn baby’s important milestones as a first-time parent. The baby’s full moon celebration is one of the most important milestones that occur after birth.
History Time!
This important holiday has its roots in ancient Chinese customs when infant mortality was a serious problem. Therefore, a big celebration is required when a newborn is one month old (“Month” in Mandarin is yue, which directly translates to “Moon”).
The parents will officially introduce the newest member of their family to loved ones when the infant successfully completes his or her first month, according to tradition.
With this profound symbolism, many Chinese families continue to celebrate a baby’s full moon as a wonderful occasion to announce the joyful news of their newborn baby and celebrate the end of confinement for mummies.
What Can Be Expected?
Almost always, there will be food available for the whole month’s party, regardless of size. Again, it actually depends on the family’s preferences, thus anything from traditional Chinese food to modern choices is possible.
What is a mainstay are red foods which are traditionally provided because they stand for luck and prosperity. Each guest will receive symbolic presents, such as red-dyed hard-boiled eggs that stand in for new life (an odd number for a baby boy and an even number for a baby girl), and red glutinous rice cakes, also known locally as ang ku kueh, that are fashioned like turtles and symbolise longevity and riches. You can choose from a variety of ang ku kueh fillings, including durian, mung bean paste, and peanut paste.
However, it should also be noted that what we said about modern food is also true and you can find things like our swiss rolls, brownies, fruit tarts, and many more yummy treats that will get everyone excited.
PACKAGES!
The full-month party is an occasion for guests to present the newborn and parents with gifts, much like a baby shower in western society. Common present ideas include sentimental items like jewellery and piggy banks, infant apparel, plush toys, and practical items like bibs, blankets, and towels.
Uncertain about what to buy for your upcoming full-month party? Well, you already know that we offer tasty treats on our website from traditional munchies like the Ang Ku Kueh and Glutinous Rice to the contemporary Strawberry Swiss Roll or Mini Marble Cheesecakes.
How about we make things even more convenient for you and let you in on our full-month packages instead?
