What is the name of the pre-wedding ritual where the bride's bed is made by unmarried female friends and relatives, who scatter money, rice, and a baby on it for prosperity and fertility?

The 'making of the bed' (to krevati or strata) takes place the evening before the wedding; relatives and friends throw money, rice, and koufeta (sugared almonds) onto the mattress, and a baby is rolled on it for fertility.
