Menarche Ceremony
Did you have a menarche (first period) ceremony? What was it like? Who was there? What gifts did you get? If you have a daughter, will you (or did you) give her a menarche ceremony?

Did not, but want it for my daughters!

I didn't even TELL my mom when I got my period for the first time... I was THAT ashamed of it. And I don't want my future daughter(s) to feel that way, so when we have 'the talk', I'll tell them that I will let them stay home from school the day they get theirs, and I'll (try to) stay home from work and we'll play hookie. Go see a movie, get a good lunch/dinner, maybe mani/pedi's. Just to help them understand that it's nothing to be ashamed of or embarrassed about, and that it can actually be something to celebrate!
