Birthday Gifts For Relief Society Sisters

Cutting Out The Printables:

RELIEF SOCIETY SISTERS CELEBRATED THEIR BIRTHDAY IN GRAND STYLE L D S

I love Fiskars! Nice sharp scissors or paper cutters will get you the best-looking edges! Almost 90% of the time use my Paper Trimmer to get nice straight cuts! It just looks so much more professional!

I also have a bit of an obsession with this punch that rounds the corners. It makes everything looks nice!

Gifts For A Large Group That Wont Break The Bank

I was asked to make a birthday gift for 144 women. Gifts for a large group can be really hard, the biggest hurdle being the bottom line. The price adds up fast and making it something that is useful and cost effective seems impossible. Well, Challenge Accepted! Using my mad Amazon skills I found these cute little notebooks and pens, and knew I had stumbled onto something great. I was able to make all 144 for about $224, which made these cute little gifts $1.56 each. That is including the stickers used to decorate the notebook and the bakers twine.

Relief Society Around The World

We had one sister who had served her mission in Japan come and talk about how Relief Society was run in Japan. It was really interesting, and it showed that we arent all that different. She also dressed up in a Japanese outfit , which I thought was pretty cool.

We had a recent convert give a little talk about her favorite General Conference talk, and she also talked a little bit about her conversion story, which I loved. I think that you can easily involve different sisters by asking them to do things like this.

Membership In Relief Society

Relief Society is a lifelong sisterhood. All adult sisters 18 and older are members of Relief Society. They are members even if they cannot attend Relief Society meetings.

A young woman may begin attending Relief Society when she turns 18. She counsels with her parents and bishop about the timing. By age 19 or when moving from home, such as to attend a university or serve a mission, she should participate in Relief Society.

For information about unwed parents under age 18, see 38.1.5.

Relief Society Birthday Visit Gifts

Super cute and practical Relief Society Birthday gift idea

When I was called to be Relief Society president in our ward, I felt very strongly that we should visit every sister on our ward lists on their birthday. Two plus years into it, weve had great success in getting to know the ladies of our ward with these simple front door drop bys. My presidency and and I rotate months, so we each do visits once a quarter. We always bring a little gift with us. Im going on my third year, so here are the three gifts weve done so far, all under a dollar and all using coupons from Joanns, Michaels, and Hobby Lobby for all purchases. We have a bout 150 ladies on our roster, so at the beginning of the year, we just make all 150 and then they are all ready to go each month.

The first year we did these love blocks. They are the most labor intensive, but also the cheapest . The wood is 2x4s cut into blocks painted various colors with a Silouette or Cricut paper cut out love modge podged on . On the back is a little note with a signature from each of us. Finish with a tulle bow, and youve got a gift of love. The next year we did these little flower vases. We got the bottles from a local bottle distributer, filled with sand and got various flowers from the craft store.

All wrapped up:Clip up close:Weve also given out the adorible note pads that JB Designs has on her site for a little over a dollar. We gave them out at our Christmas program, but they would work for birthday visits for sure.

We were able to find these great bookmarks from Deseret Book one side said Charity Never Faileth, which is the Relief Society motto, and the other side has the Relief Society Declaration.

    We also placed a basket of extra candies on the side for people to grab on their way out:

    Relief Society Birthday Dinner Ideas

    Here are a few things to keep in mind:

    • It doesnt have to be fancy! We did a picnic style theme for the dinner one year, and it was a huge hit and super easy to put together
    • Overestimate for food I know this might sound like the best idea, but its much better to have more than not enough. There are always people in the ward and community that would be more than willing and in need of the leftovers.
    • Get volunteers to help make the food! Some wards may h ave a budget to cater, but if you do not, always try and get volunteers to help. You dont need to do it all!

    Here are a few other ideas to give you some inspiration:

    • Dinner from the 1840s I thought this would have been fun make a bunch of food that the sisters may have made back when the RS was organized.
    • Dinner around the world a big part of the RS celebration is about celebrating our sisterhood and unity. I think it would be fun to make dishes from around the world!
    • Pasta dinner We did this one year, and it was a HUGE hit.
    • Ham, potatoes, salad, and rolls this is always pretty popular!
    • Potluck dinner have everyone bring an item! You may want to provide the main dish, or just have everyone bring something they enjoy and see what shows up!

    Here is the menu from our picnic themed party:

    Chicken Salad Croissant Sandwiches

    We bought a chicken salad from Costco and put them on the delicious, buttery croissants from Costco as well. We also put a piece of lettuce on each one to make it feel a little fancier.

    Themed Birthday Parties And Programs

    The Relief Society Birthday celebration can also be just that: a party! But include in your celebration more than birthday cakes create a theme that inspires discussion and reflection. Here are some thoughts:

    Months of the Year

    Celebrate the birthdays of your sisters. Decorate each table with a centerpiece that represents a certain month of the year. Ask sisters to sit at their birthday-month table. Serve dinner and have a speaker deliver a message on how to remember the Relief Society mission all year long by serving the sisters around us. This gives sisters a great opportunity to learn more about sisters with whom they dont normally spend much time it can also be a good occasion to discuss the blessings of visiting teaching.

    Of Royal Birth

    Emphasize the value of each Relief Society sister by organizing a program that reminds them of their royal heritage as daughters of God. Remind them of their divine purpose as members of Relief Society, as women, and as individuals. As a leader or sister to speak on divine purpose, or organize a skit that highlights milestones of life and the guidance Heavenly Father promises. You might even include daughters as part of the program.

    Some wards have a very large number of active adult women. For these wards, the bishop and stake president may authorize having more than one ward Relief Society. Each Relief Society has its own presidency. If possible, each Relief Society should have members with a variety of ages and experience.

    A Night Of Relief Society History

    Relief Society Jeopardy

    Teach your sisters more about the mission of Relief Society by reviewing its roots. A fun way to teach the sisters the history of the organization is to play Relief Society Jeopardy. Depending on how competitive your sisters are, divide the group into teams, or allow sister to yell out their answers freely. Create questions that bear some significance to Relief Societyquestions concerning scriptures that are significant to Relief Society, hymns that have significant Relief Society history, trivia about Relief Society leaders, or other general trivia. Use this game in conjunction with a dinner and message about the growing mission of Relief Society through time.

    Video of the General Relief Society Meeting of 2005

    Another way to highlight Relief Society history is to share the video that was shown during the General Relief Society Meeting of 2005. This video beautifully explains the reason for organizing the Relief Society and the power behind the organization. After watching the video, invite a priesthood leader to share some statements Joseph Smith made about the purpose and potential of the Relief Socirty. Gather some statements from the brethren in the ward on how the Relief Society contributes to the purpose of the gospel. Share them and lead a discussion exploring what the sisters can do to help the Relief Society live up to this great potential.

    You Are Kneaded Relief Society Birthday

    As most of you know I love bread. In just about any form. My favorite is warm from the oven slathered with butter. It is my crack. Seriously. You can only imagine how excited I was when our Relief Society decided on the theme You are Kneaded for the birthday celebration. Because it involves bread!

    As a committee we thought it would be such a nice treat if every sister had a little treat to take home so we decided on mini loaves of bread. How cute is that? Now we estimated about 100 sisters would be attending this birthday celebration. Yes 100 so we had our work cut out for us! So about 5 of us set out to bake those 100 mini loaves.

    We used Rhodes Frozen Bread Dough to make it easy for us. One loaf will make 2 mini loaves. Now there is a secret I learned when using Rhodes dough. It will rise a lot when you bake it. The key is to not let the dough over proof. We used disposable baking pans and they were perfect. If you let the dough rise just to the top of the baking pan it rises beautifully and makes a fantastic mini loaf.

    I was asked to make tags for the mini loaves too and I used my Cricut Maker to print and cut out the tags. You can find the project here if you want to make your own. I think they turned out really cute and the message was clear.

    Thank you to Rhodes for sponsoring this post. As always, all opinions are my own and I only share products I genuinely love.
