Naming Ceremonies
Have you recently had a new life enter your family? A new birth or adoption?
Or maybe there's someone who's always been there and you want to make your bond that little bit more official, and announce it to the world. A naming ceremony can be a great opportunity to affirm bonds and bring a family closer together.
​
Here are some ideas for elements that can be included in your naming ceremony. These can be a lovely way of including parents, grandparents, guardians or loved ones as they pledge their love and give their wishes for the future.
​
Time Capsule
Make a capsule full of memories and wishes that can be opened later on in life
Tree Planting
Plant a tree that will grow alongside your loved one
Tree of Promises
A tree full of promises and commitments from loved ones for the little person's life ahead
Readings
Add a little poetry to the ceremony with a reading from a loved one.
Can be something personal to the reader or something fitting chosen by me
Signing a Guestbook
Create a lifelong keepsake for your child filled with messages from loved ones that they can take with them.
