Baby Full Month Packages - How to Choose The Right Package for Your Celebration?

There are several baby full month packages available and it is important that you choose the right package for your celebration. In most cases, a lot of our customers have asked us “What is the right package that they should choose which stays memorable for a longer time?”

Over at Coochicoo, we have compiled a series of tips for you to guide you through on the full month packages issues that you might face.

1. As there are a lot to do during the celebration day of baby’s first month, try to spread out the task and have them completed earlier or delegate them. Select a package that you do not necessary need to give them out immediately. Pastries, cakes, kuehs are food that needs to be consumed within a few days hence you must give them out as soon as possible and they cannot be kept. Alternatively you may consider vouchers, chocolates, cookies, candies, etc which you can still give out the next few days.


2. Next up is the budget. Although you may be very excited over the birth of your child, it is important to ensure that you do not overspend your budget. You do not want to start your baby’s new life in debt. Some full month Singapore providers offer discounts.


3. Select memorable gift packs.  As there are many full month Singapore packages out there, choose a package that you and your guest can remember for a longer time.


4. Organizing a baby full month party in Singapore can be very stressful. Thus, if the need arises, reassure your partner/spouse to enjoy the day and do not fret too much over the baby full month details.

We understand the joy and pain when parents are choosing their baby full month packages. We would like to help you make a better purchasing decision. For more info, feel free to call us or email to us!

What is A Baby’s Full Month?

A baby’s full month means that it is time to celebrate this important and auspicious occasion since the newborn was brought home from the hospital one month ago. This tradition dates back long ago before the advent of modern medicine, when infant mortality rates were high.  If a baby made it to his or her first month safely, that boded well for survival. The mother would have completed her confinement period and would be able to leave home and visit friends and relatives. Thus the baby’s full month, or Man Yue.  

Parents will take this opportunity to celebrate their child’s auspicious occasion.  There are many great ideas on how and where to celebration this occasion in many advertising platforms.

  

What does celebrating baby’s full month involve?

Different cultures around the world celebrate baby’s full month in many different ways. Typically, in Singapore a family celebrating a baby’s full month will hold a party and invite guests to come to the party.

Most of these parties usually take place at home or in restaurants.  It is common to cater a buffet for the guests, with traditional ‘auspicious’ treats like red-dyed eggs, ang ku kueh and pickled red ginger. Your guests will come bearing red packets (ang bao), baby hampers, toys or gift vouchers for your baby. This is more like the Chinese version of a baby shower.

Why do we offer auspicious foods?

In Chinese culture, red represents luck, prosperity and happiness. Therefore it is very common to see that ‘red’ foods are served for this occasion. Eggs represent new life and harmony, while ginger is good for Qi. Ang Ku Kueh is a traditional Hokkien rice cake popular in Singapore and Malaysia, shaped like a red turtle and stuffed with a variety of pastes like peanut, mung bean, durian and more. Turtles represent longevity and wealth, that is why they are considered a must-have at baby’s full month celebrations.
