Planning a Ceremony for the New Mother-to-Be? Check Our Top 10 ideas for Valaikappu Gifts to Give Guests (2019)

There is something absolutely beautiful about this festival. Valaikappu is the celebration of the mother to be and the child she is nursing within her. This festival is celebrated in the southern regions of the country like Tamil Nadu and Telangana. Valaikappu is prevalent in Hindus, Muslims and Christians, and that makes it more special.

Hosting a Valaikappu is even more special. It can be for your friend or for a family member who is going to welcome a new member. This festival is beautiful and brings in good vibes into the family. In a way, it prepares the family for the new guest. However, hosting such a festival can be quite difficult. There are things that you must keep in mind. But you don't have to worry a bit. We have prepared a pretty nice list for you to take guidance from. So, sit back and relax.

There is nothing better than a traditional food menu for Valaikappu. The festival smells of traditions and heritage and it is only a cherry on the cake if you curate something traditional.

Flowers are charming and add a colourful vibe to the occasion. They bring in good vibes and make the occasion even more special than it already is.
