The arrival of your beautiful baby or toddler is a wonderful event to be celebrated and shared with your family and friends. For hundreds of years, Christenings have been the traditional rite of passage for babies. In modern times, families are choosing to formally celebrate their joyous arrival in a non or part religious, modern or alternative way. The option of a creating a personalised naming s
ervice specifically for you and for your child allows you to tailor the event to suit you and your beliefs, and allows a child the freedom to choose their spirituality later in life. A naming ceremony is also ideally suited to welcoming an adopted child in to your family, or marking the celebration of a family growing with the addition of step children. There is no set time frame for when you should hold a naming ceremony. Some families prefer to wait until their little ones are slightly older and can actively participate in the service, some like to hold these soon after their bundle is born, it is entirely up to you. A naming ceremony can be held in any venue that you choose, be it at your home, a hotel or function room or a special place for you and your family, such as a beach or woodland.
