Can you believe it’s been 100 days since your little one arrived? Those sleepless nights, tiny yawns, first smiles, they’ve all led up to this heartwarming milestone. The 100-day celebration is a sweet tradition that marks your baby’s strength and growth, and your incredible journey as parents so far.
Whether you’re planning something big or keeping it cozy, this guide is packed with adorable baby 100 days celebration ideas you’ll totally love. Let’s help you make this day as special as your little miracle.
The 100-day celebration, known as Baek-il in Korean culture or part of Chinese customs, is all about gratitude, protection, and love. Historically, it honored babies who made it through the most vulnerable time after birth. Today, it’s both a beautiful nod to tradition and a joyful reason to celebrate new life.
You don’t have to follow any strict rules. Families across the world have added their own spin, whether it’s an elegant gathering, a small family moment, or a photo shoot to remember forever.
However you choose to celebrate, the heart of it remains the same: love, joy, and milestones.
Here’s a touching idea: set up a jar where loved ones can write messages for your baby. From blessings to funny advice, these notes can be read when your child turns 18 or even sooner. It's an easy, meaningful way to involve everyone.
Even if you're celebrating at home or keeping it virtual, you can ask friends and family to send their notes in advance. Print them, roll them up with ribbon, and place them in the jar. It becomes a keepsake your child will cherish one day.
For added fun at your celebration, set up a Music Games Machine nearby to keep the mood joyful while guests write their notes.
Print out 100 tiny photos that capture your baby’s first days, such as sleepy faces, funny expressions, tummy time victories. Then create a photo wall, heart shape, or even a number "100" with them.
You just need some twine, mini clips, and a wall that needs brightening. This doubles as decor and a touching walk down memory lane for your guests (and you!). To add fun and entertaining photos to your display, you can try some of these fringe activities that everyone will surely love!
Put together a time capsule from the year your baby was born. Include a newspaper front page, a handwritten letter, family photos, and even a small toy or pacifier. Seal it with a note to open it on your child’s 18th or 21st birthday.
You can even ask guests to contribute items or messages. It’s a beautiful way to capture the spirit of today, and a heartfelt gift for tomorrow.
Take a moment to say a few words as parents; something simple, like your hopes and dreams for your baby. You can also invite grandparents or godparents to share blessings or stories.
This doesn’t have to be formal. It can be a quiet toast at dinner or a short speech during cake time. These moments of gratitude and connection are often what guests remember the most.
Why not create a custom storybook starring your baby? Write a sweet, simple tale about their first 100 days, including things like their favorite toy, sleepy-time habits, or silly faces.
You don’t need to be a writer. Use photo book tools online or jot it down in a handmade booklet. Your baby may not read it now, but they’ll treasure it later, and so will you.
No need for fancy lights or props. Just dress your baby in an adorable outfit, cuddle up in natural light, and snap away. Candid, real-life photos always win hearts.
You can even add a soft crown or sash that says "100 Days." Whether it's on your couch or in the backyard, a cosy shoot gives you tangible memories without the stress of a big production.

It’s easy to get caught up in planning, but the real magic of the 100 days celebration is in the quiet moments. A sleepy smile, a giggle from grandma, the way your baby looks up at you; those are the things that matter most.
Don’t feel pressured to throw a Pinterest-worthy party. Whether you’re surrounded by family or just snuggling at home, celebrating 100 days is about honouring your journey and the love that grows every single day.
Celebrating 100 days is like pressing pause and saying, “Wow, look how far we’ve come.” It’s a celebration of resilience, laughter, love, and all the little things that made the last three months unforgettable.
Whether you go big or keep it small, the most adorable celebration is the one that feels true to your family. So take a break, soak it all in, and enjoy every second this special milestone.

Nope! It can be anything from a big bash to a quiet family dinner or even a solo moment with just you and your baby.
Choose a time when your baby is usually happiest, typically mid-morning or early afternoon after a nap and feeding.
Absolutely! Many families combine milestones to make the celebration more meaningful and practical.
Anything you like! Traditional outfits (like a Hanbok), personalised onesies, or even cosy pyjamas all work, just keep baby comfy.
It can be, but it doesn’t have to be. While it has roots in Korean and Chinese culture, many modern families celebrate it in their own way.
