One Year Old Birthday Party Package
Your baby turning one is a great milestone and we have perfected the one year old birthday party package here to celebrate that: the baby choosing ceremony (抓周仪式) in Singapore!
With such a diverse culture in Singapore, everyone celebrates it differently! No matter what, it’s time to celebrate with a party to bring friends and relatives together for the joyous occasion!
What can you do for a one-year-old Birthday Party?
Everyone will agree that one year old party is definitely a big milestone, no matter where you come from! For instance, the Koreans (Dol Jalbi), Vietnamese (Thôi Nôi), Chinese (抓周 Zhuā Zhōu) and Japanese (Erabitori) will conduct a ‘choosing ceremony’.
The primary purpose of the ceremony is to bless the child with a prosperous future and a healthy life ahead.
How do you conduct a baby choosing ceremony (抓周仪式) in Singapore?
The highlights of the baby choosing ceremony include having various items placed near the child and he or she is encouraged to pick up a few objects. If he picks up a light bulb, he may grow up to be an inventor or be inventive, just like Thomas Edison.
We have done our research and included many other traditional ceremonies to involve the parents, elders as well as guests to make it a fun experience for everyone. We have also modernised and invented creative variations to make your party unique and memorable.
- Suitability – We chose careers as well as items which are popular among Singaporeans.
- Meaningful – We explained the meaning behind each ritual so everyone will understand why we do this.
- Interactive– We designed activities to engage the elders as well as all the guests to ensure they have a fun experience throughout.
- Appealing – The choosing ceremony is captivating as we script the ceremony to include comedy which can be adapted depending on the crowd. Having worked with families for the past 20 years, we understand what is best suited for different guests.
- Memorable – We will present a customised certificate to the family, so they have a wonderful memory of party. We also know when ‘great photo points’ are and worked with photographers to capture these moments.
- Incorporating other fun elements – As a magician, Mr Bottle also added magic into the ceremony which appeals to the young and old.
We have about 15 different activities which guests can participate in and create lots of fun memories together in our specially curated choosing ceremony hosting package.
You can even rent the choosing ceremony props (抓周道具）so you can host it yourself.
All-in-all, it is just a series of fun activities for the family members and friends to enjoy this day together with the baby being the highlight of the party
Other one-year-old ceremonies
For Hindu, they may perform the ritual of feeding solid food to the baby (Annaprasanam) or shaving the kid’s hair (Mundan).
Recently, there is a trend of cake smashing ceremony from the west!
Hence this is why we have specially included a choice of the choosing activity in our unique customised one-year-old package. It is one of the most versatile and value-for-money package in our company!

Baby Shower / Full moon Party / Naming Ceremony:
What are the differences between a baby shower and full moon party? They are essentially almost the same: everyone come together to celebrate the newborn’s arrival. Some countries celebrate them before the babies’ arrival or 1 day after. Hence when guests comes, they ‘shower’ gifts to the mother at the party, whereas other cultures host a baby shower to celebrate the transformation of a woman into a mother.In Singapore, Chinese have traditionally regarded the completion of the full 30 days as baby’s first birthday; hence full moon. (满月’) The reason? Infant mortality rates were high in the past, hence reaching this milestone is worth celebrating.In other words, the full moon celebration was an event to officially ‘show off’ mother and baby to everyone and to mark the beginning of the child’s life. One of the traditions includes giving sweets items, kuehs, etc to everyone around you. Even if you may have already posted thousand of photos on Facebook, friends have already congratulated you, but nothing beats family and friends coming together to see the little baby.100th Day Celebration
This is usually more common in Korea or Japan, but getting popular amongst Singapore parents. Reason for celebration by the East Asians is the same why Chinese celebrate full month. Many Singaporean now prefer to wait until Baby turns 100 days old before throwing a grand celebration because the baby sleeps less and mummy looks better! Having the party later means giving the family more time to plan a celebration which is worthy instead of rushing through one.You can also choose the above one-year-old packages for your baby shower or 100th Day celebration too.FAQ about our baby choosing ceremony (抓周仪式）in Singapore.
Q: Can I book just the baby choosing ceremony (抓周仪式) or choose my own decoration with you instead of the whole package?
A: Of course! Feel free to customise your own packages. We usually put the above basic together because it is a hassle-free economical package for parents. If you want a more elaborate decorations, you can do an upgrade.
Q: Do you provide the script if we rent the baby choosing ceremony props (抓周道具) from you in Singapore or Taiwan?
A: We have a basic instructions on what the props are used for and what to do for the choosing ceremony. However, we will NOT be providing our exclusive script, which may include comedy and other entertainment elements to entertain the crowd.
Q: How long should I book your 抓周 services in advance?
A: We currently have bookings up to 9 months in advance. We had clients who book us 1 year in advance because they know it is difficult to book us on peak periods. However, we suggest you book at least 1-2 months because we need to customise the banner, choosing ceremony, guessing game (抓周猜猜乐) as well as the certificate (抓周证书）.
Q: What does your baby choosing ceremony (抓周仪式) include?
A: This is a 30-45min ceremony which consists of choosing ceremony and many more like crossing the gate of intelligence, wearing the tiger hat, etc. (Please see our deck for the complete list.) It includes all lthe props needed and even a small prize for the guessing game.
You just need to provide a table, power supply for the sound system and time to set up.
Q: What if my child gets moody during the ceremony?
A: We suggest you choose a timing which the toddler is most active. We will try to accommodate as much as we can in terms of our schedule in case we need to delay it a little. That is why we also suggest that you book other entertainment like magic show so we can play it by ear and switch the schedule around if necessary.
Q: What do you need from the customers?
A: We need:
- a high-res baby’s photo (ideally front facing and smiling)
- name – you can choose to put full name, nickname, Chinese name.
