NAMING CEREMONIES
You’ve had a baby – Congratulations!
A baby naming ceremony or a welcome ceremony is a lovely way to celebrate a new addition to the family. I love marking these special moments in family life and would really enjoy helping you create some lovely memories together.
Many families choose a naming ceremony as an alternative to a traditional Christening, although as an independent celebrant, I can happily include any faith elements or rituals if you would like.
I love babies and children and my teaching background means I am really up for getting everyone involved in a ceremony if you (and they) would like.
As parents, you may choose to make commitments to your child or children as part of a ceremony. You may like to include godparents, ‘guide parents’ or ‘supporting adults’, who can make some promises too. I can help turn all these words into something meaningful that is just right for your family.
You might like to include a symbolic gesture or ritual, which can make a brilliantly memorable addition to a family ceremony – including footprint making, lighting a ‘unity’ candle or a sand ceremony.
You can hold a baby naming at home, in your garden or anywhere else that is special to you.
I would love to help you celebrate your little one’s safe arrival.
