Mother Blessing Checklist

You can use this checklist to help organize your Mother Blessing. You can use the printer-friendly version to print out the checklist and check things off as you move along. Good luck and have fun with your Mother Blessing plans!

Initial Planning

Ideally, these should be taken care of at least one - two months in advance of your Mother Blessing. However, if you plan to have a a small Mother Blessing, some of these may be completely unnecessary, especially if it is just for yourself and your partner.

Note: you need to do this before making up the invitations so that you can advise your guests on what to bring with them and set their expectations for the Mother Blessing



One Month Mark

You should send invitations out about a month ahead of time to give everyone enough time to plan for it, but not so far in advance that they forget about it. Also, since Mother Blessing gifts are supposed to be handmade, one month will give people enough time to make something.


Lyric cards printed for guests, if applicable

This is, of course, optional and only needs to be done in advance if you plan to have favors customized

If you plan to order any of your Mother Blessing supplies online, you should make sure there is ample time for items to arrive at your door.


2 Week Mark

Time to start collecting everything together! Delegate as much as possible!



Day of your Mother Blessing

As you scurry around to get everything ready, remember that the mood is supposed to be tranquil and peaceful, so stop and take a few deep breaths every now and then!

If you will be eating before the ceremony, set out food ahead of time
Otherwise, keep food set away in refrigerator or counter

Arrange chairs and/or floor pillows in a circle
Have all music, note cards, ritual supplies in a handy place
Arrange any fresh flowers or other natural bouquets
