But I know most of my friends and family wouldn't 'get it'. I could pull off a wishing/blessing tree at a more traditional shower though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-blessingway-or-mothers-blessing#post-1044855 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 17:50:00 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1044855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="http://codenamemama.com/2011/10/26/mother-blessings/" rel="nofollow">http://codenamemama.com/2011/10/26/mother-blessings/</a></p> <p><a href="http://pregnancy.about.com/cs/blessingway/a/aa102202a.htm" rel="nofollow">http://pregnancy.about.com/cs/blessingway/a/aa102202a.htm</a></p> <p>Some quick googling...<br /> Looks like gifts are not given, but if your invitation wording says "shower" you will likely receive gifts.</p> <p>The candle each guest uses at the ceremony should go home with them for later use in the prayer tree. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-blessingway-or-mothers-blessing#post-1044808 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 17:23:48 +0000 deactivated_account 1044808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't heard of it either.

We live in Portland, so it's not like it'll be too out-there for my non-yoga friends, but I still want to be sure everyone is comfortable and has fun.</p> <p>I'd love advice on what to do, do guests bring gifts?, did you give candles out (to light during labor), all of it!! :) </p> <p>I guess, ideally, I'd like a baby shower that is more like a mother's blessing. </p>
