A naming ceremony is a joyous way to welcome a new baby or adopted child into your family and is a celebration that has many variations around the globe. It offers an occasion for you to honour the life of the newest addition to your family, with a celebration tailored to suit your style and in a setting of your choosing, surrounded by family and friends.
I can help you to select appropriate readings or poems, songs or music, which reflect the love, support, hopes and dreams that you hold for your child.
You may wish to appoint ‘Guide-Parents’ who, with specially written vows, can make solemn promises to love and nurture your child. You might choose to include a ritual, such as planting a symbolic tree or candle lighting. In this way you can involve siblings or grandparents, and make the occasion truly inclusive.
