baby Naming Ceremony
“Welcome to the world, …”
Start a new Tradition for your family’s new addition
Baby naming ceremonies have been performed around the world for millennia. A joyous coming together as a family and community to celebrate the birth and bless the newborn.
Today, ceremonies like christenings and baptisms don’t enjoy the same popularity as in previous generations. A secular baby naming ceremony gives parents, grandparents and the whole family, a chance to come together in a structured, purposeful way.
It doesn’t matter whether you’ve already announced the baby’s name or not. The beauty of the ceremony is that it also presents an opportunity to officially recognise grandparents and godparents and the role they will play in the life of your precious newborn.
My ceremony can be performed anywhere at any time. It’s heartfelt, happy and includes a unique, personalised meaning for your newborn’s new name.
