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?

My mom made me a cake for the occasion..

I was so embarassed when my first AF came around. I was 13 and luckily I got it at home and noticed right away so my embarrassment wasn't made public. I first told my uncle's girlfriend because my mother wasn't home, she was very cool about it and took me to the store and helped me pick out a box of tampons. But when my mom came home and I told her, she was so excited, I made her promise she wouldn't tell anyone. My mother is a professional cake decorator so the next day I came back from school and she had made a cake for me, thankfully it wasn't shaped like a tampon or anything! It was bad enough that my whole family knew it after they saw the Happy 1st Period cake in the kitchen!! Then, I got a call from my father in Florida and my great grandmother congratulating me on becoming a woman! I swear I could have just died. I know if I have a daughter, I won't call up our extended family to notify them or make her a cake!
