Who should be invited to the ceremony?
Invite the people who your daughter wishes to invite. You may certainly suggest people she might not mention but respect her wishes as much as you can. Sometimes that can be difficult if there is someone that you would like to invite and she does not agree. You might share with her that you would like to invite some of the women who have helped you raise her. We preferred to have only women or girls who have already had their menarche so that they can share this common experience and welcome the young woman into the circle of women.
