18 SHOTS
18 SYMBOLLIC GIFTS/TREASURES
18 Treasure Gifts signify the 18 persons that she will treasure and these gifts will be
her inspiration and armor in her journey towards fulfilling her dreams. 18 special people
were selected to hand over a gift that best depict our debutant’s personality.
Sabi ni Willa Cather, “Where there is great love, there are always wishes.” Because
birthdays are always new beginnings, new endeavors, and new set of goals. 18 Candles
signifies the light for our dear debutant, meaning they are the guide of our dear
__________towards her pathways. So, they are here to send birthday greetings and wishes
for our dear debutant. These are the people close to the heart of ______________, and
whom she listens and confides to for inspiring and friendly advice. Starting off with the
woman dearest to ____________’s heart, representing the mother candle that will be a
source of light for all the 18 candles.
(many ancient cultures believed that the smoke carried their prayers to the heavens.
So blow your candles at the count of 3….1, 2, and 3. May all your wishes come true.
Let me share a good-to-know trivia to everyone, on how birthday cakes and candles
came about as a tradition during birthdays. Some believe that the tradition of birthday
candles began in Ancient Greece. Putting candles on a cake was a special way to tribute to
the Greek moon goddess, Artemis. They baked round cakes to symbolize the moon.
Candles were added to represent the reflected moonlight. So today’s tradition of making
wishes before blowing out the birthday candles may have started with that belief.
So at this point, stunning _____________________ will now blow the candles on her
birthday cake. And to complete that customary practice, let us all sing the birthday
song….DJ, whenever ready please.
*****(the father and daughter dance is probably one of the most loved traditions.
This signifies the debutant’s first step to womanhood and the father’s acceptance of this
period in his daughter’s life.
