Rice ceremony or ‘Annoprasan’ is a milestone Life-event which marks the transition of a baby’s diet from breastfeeding to solid-feeding and parents do want to go the extra mile to cherish this event.  The term ‘Annoprasan’ originates from Sanskrit language which means ‘grain initiation’ and various communities in India celebrate this day with pomp and extravagance either on the sixth or eighth month from the day the baby is born.

Here we will discuss a few innovative ways that can make your ‘little angel’s’ first solid feeding truly special:

These days invitation cards plays a significant role in order to make an event memorable right from the start. So, get creative! Colorful invitation cards with striking shapes and designs with baby’s picture, balloons and toys in it can make your guests quite amazed at your Rice Ceremony invitation style! Also, words play a major role, since a well-worded invitation card with some personal touch, successfully creates a lasting impression on the minds of the invitees!

If you wish to arrange the party in a garden or a banquet hall, decorate surroundings with various baby things starting right from pictures, various candid moments captured together, balloons, streamers, ribbons, cute flowers that go with the baby and other such baby stuffs that make the venue bit quirky yet attractive!

Food, as usual, a key concern for any event! For Rice ceremonies, food list should be prepared to keep in mind the newborn and invitees at the same time. In fact, do consult the pediatrician to understand which food items you can serve the baby safely.

Create a personalized message board at the venue. Guests can pen down their personalized messages about the event, food and whatever that made the event truly cherishing for you as well as your cutie-pie in the years to come. If the venue is your home, decorate the baby room artistically! New curtains, baby cot, soft lighting, linen, painted walls, baby furniture, dolls, toys and cartoon characters on the wall and other baby gear can make the room look awesome! Make an effort to thank the invitees via thank you notes who took their time out in being a part of your celebration.
