A naming ceremony is a way of celebrating and welcoming a new addition to your family.
It’s a great way to bring family and friends together to celebrate one of life’s key milestones and are ideal for families who want to mark the occasion in a way that isn’t religious and also provides the opportunity for those gathered to reflect the roles that key people will play in the life of the child.
Naming ceremonies are perfect for newborns or toddlers and can be combined with a first birthday celebration but they don’t have to be limited to young children, you can have a naming ceremony whenever you’re ready, there’s no rush!
For older children, they can be seen or used as a rite of passage or a celebration of your child’s growing maturity. They can also be a perfect way to welcome adopted children or step-children of any age into your family.
Naming ceremonies can be held wherever you want; at home, in the park, the garden, the beach or your local village hall. They are becoming increasingly popular in a wide range of different settings.
Each naming ceremony is unique and can include music, poems, singing, readings, parental promises and more. You can even incorporate symbolic actions such as planting a tree or writing in a wish book. Get in touch to find out how I can help you create a very special life event.
