Welcoming your new born child into your family is a euphoric moment. You’ve carried your baby (or babies!) for nine months and your precious bundle needs to be officially brought into the family. A naming ceremony is a fantastic way to recognise this, we can work together to create a bespoke ceremony for your child.
You may have other children that you would like to be involved in the ceremony or you may have special individuals that mean a lot to you in your life that would like to welcome as ‘Supporting Adults’.
How is a baby naming ceremony structured?
The way in which I structure a naming ceremony is as follows, however, this is a basic structure that you may feel free to add or remove parts:
​
-
Entrance – The entrance of the child/ren we are holding the naming ceremony for, with music
-
Opening words
-
Naming Ceremony
-
Blessing for the Supporting Adults
-
Hymns/Prayers/Readings
-
Exit with music
There are special mini ceremonies that you can add as part of your day, here are some ideas:
-
Planting a tree
-
Candle lighting
-
Receiving of a family crest/heirloom
At the end of the ceremony I will present you with a Naming Day certificate. A naming day means that each year you can celebrate your child.
