Hosting a Great Blessing Way

As much as I loved my baby shower, I really, really treasured my blessing ways. I loved the sense of being with other women who were all supportive of the journey I was about to make into motherhood. I've rarely seen the sense of love, support and community seen that day in a baby shower. So if you're thinking about hosting a blessing way for your own, I've got some great ideas for you!

So what you will mostly likely need, includes:

• invitations, which should probably include information about what a blessing way is
• food, after all, what's a party without food?
• beads for a necklace or bracelet
• instructions to guests to bring a positive thought, blessing or poem with them to the party
• candles or other decorations
