Any LDS Ladies on here?

Or anyone who's been to a Blessing Ceremony? We've been invited to one that's at a home, not at the church.

Are gifts expected at these? If so, should it be something big, small, personal, to the baby, to the parents?

TIA!

Re: Any LDS Ladies on here?

  • I have an LDS pal, I'll ask her tomorrow for ya ;)
  • I have been to a few blessing and no, not if you are gong to the church. Just bring a nice card if you want to, but it's really not mandatory because it will be during their actual church service in front of everyone who would be there normally. If there is a reception or any sort of get together after church, then I would.
  • we have quite a few lds family and friends. (glad you wrote lds vs. mormon). it is really sweet you are thinking in terms of a gift, but it is not necessary. if you really want to give something, maybe like an engraved frame that says 'my blessing day'. they could use that to display the picture from the sacrament meeting.

    just a note however, they don't require presents....they just appreciate your presence. it is really nice of you to go and support them.

    Anniversary
  • Jules--she basically said the same thing as pp.  That she only brings a gift if she was going to buy one anyway and hadn't seen the baby/parents to gift it to them yet.
  • Ladies, thanks so much for the advice.

    SMS - Actually, they're not having it at the church, they're having it at a grandma's house. I'm glad because I really want to attend and I'm not sure if I'd be allowed to if it was in the church. (Are non LDS allowed in their churches? I know we aren't in the Temple.)

    Shell, thanks. I actually did get her a welcome baby gift. It was more of a gift for the mom though - they were pajama jeans. Google it if you don't know what I'm talking about (or maybe you read about them on my blog?) Hilarious. Inside joke. I'm going to not worry about a gift.
