Naming Ceremonies

What is a Naming Ceremony I hear you ask?

A naming ceremony is a beautiful, non-religious way to welcome a child into the family and community. For families looking for an alternative to a christening, it offers a deeply personal
celebration that centres on the child and the people who will play an important role in their life. It’s a unique opportunity to create an occasion filled with love, warmth, and family traditions.

Why Choose a Naming Ceremony?
This ceremony isn’t just for newborns—it’s perfect for adopted children, stepchildren, or even older children as a meaningful rite of passage. Each ceremony is crafted to reflect the
family’s story, making it a memorable day of connection and joy.

Personalized Touches
Symbolic rituals are common in naming ceremonies, adding a special layer of meaning to the day. Hand or foot printing, signing a keepsake certificate, or planting a tree can make the ceremony even more memorable. Families have the freedom to personalize or invent their own rituals for that extra-special touch.

Flexible Options
A naming ceremony can be a stand-alone event or integrated into a wedding or vow renewal. It’s flexible in both time and setting, lasting as little as 20 minutes or extending into a longer gathering, wherever you choose to hold it.

Guide Parents
Traditionally, christenings have godparents, but in a naming ceremony, families often choose “guide parents” (or any title they prefer) to represent important people in the child’s life. This allows for flexibility and personal significance.
