Omg I would have died of embarrassment if my mother had done something like this for me!

Oh I just wanted to hide from embarrassment when I got mine.

This is a nice thing to do, but I hope she had her daughter’s permission to post on social media.

Many cultures do this. As a teenager I used to work in a party shop and had many parents coming in organising a period party.

Only in America I guess – we were always open about everything to do with growing up in our household but I found it amazing that one of my daughters just refused to believe it was happening to her and tried everything she could to not admit it to herself. I doubt she would have reacted favourably to a party to celebrate it.

Just a bit of fun at home gor the daughter… great. I can see it going over the top in America and having a whole section in the party shop dedicated to it !

It’s lovely to be able to be so open about it and feel joy when you reach this milestone. Personally I wouldn’t throw a period party, but certainly feel for giving it some positive attention with a special gift or so.

This ???????? great idea.

This is such a cool idea & I like how they are so open about it, but I’m not sure if I would do this. Perhaps a low key celebration is nice too!

It’s great they can be open about it

I know a lass who came from a country town and was boarding in a city because although she was a “junior” she was transferred with her employment. There had been a storm and the electricity had been cut so she wrote her Mum a letter and told her she had become a woman and posted it to her via the external mail from her office..

Red velvet cake…that is such a crack up!

  Creative and fun and women need to celebrate these milestones.

Good on her for framing it as something positive.

It’s a big milestone and a big deal so well done mum

Such a good idea and a fabulous cake!

This is a wonderful idea,good one mum!

So sweet of her mother to mark this occasion.
I was just told “You are a woman now”
