Child and baby naming ceremonies
What naming ceremonies are all about
A naming ceremony is one way in which parents can celebrate and welcome a child or children into the family, usually inviting relations and friends to share in the occasion
The ceremony is an opportunity to announce the names which have been chosen for the child, but there is much more to the occasion than that. As a parent you will make promises of commitment to your child, which is a way of saying that you will try to be as good a parent as possible. Adult friends or relatives, chosen by you, take part in the ceremony as 'Supporting Adults' who will pledge a special relationship with the child. There is a special option for grandparents to take part as well, if you choose.
After the Celebrant introduces the ceremony, it is up to you to select the choices and decide what you would like the ceremony to contain. You will be creating a unique event that you and all your guests will remember.
