Naming Ceremony...

 

So why have a 'naming ceremony' and not a christening or a baptism, well it is all about choice, as not all parents consider themselves religious but still wish to mark the occasion of naming their child and celebrating with family and friends. 

​

A ceremony that has been around for centuries, but of late, becoming an increasingly popular trend in modern society.   

​

Similarly, an 'adoption ceremony' is seen as a perfect way to welcome into a family an adopted child(ren) with a celebration to start their journey of bonding and developing an understanding of the love that their new family has for them.

 

Couples who have children from previous relationships and are entering into a new one may wish to bring their children together with a 'blending ceremony', involving the children in fun rituals, such as sand blending, family tree fingerprinting or similar, a visual representation of how two families can become one.  

​

The beauty of these types of ceremonies is that they can be held in your home, a gazebo in the garden or open air if not raining, community centre or anywhere that suits your budget.

 

A wonderful moving day when you can include a recital of nursery rhymes or poems, narration of passages from a favourite children's book or a popular song sung by a family member... what a momentous occasion it would be!
