Nothing is more special than a new life and it is important that families have an opportunity to mark such an important event and to celebrate. Whilst christenings and other religious ceremonies are right for people who follow a particular faith, there is an alternative for people who are not religious or where the child’s parents have different faiths and want something neutral. That alternative is a naming ceremony and it is just as special, just as meaningful and is full of joy and fun. Naming ceremonies can be held wherever and whenever you wish; they can be very informal and relaxed or more structured and can be for babies or older children.
