Celebrate your Child's Naming Ceremony with Janet Your Celebrant
Welcome to a New Chapter
You want to celebrate a new arrival in your family. Whether it’s a newborn baby, a recently adopted child, or welcoming stepchildren into a blended family, a Naming Ceremony is a wonderful way to mark the beginning of life and the bonds of family and community.
Creating Your Ceremony
- Personal Touch: I listen to your story and what is important to you, to help you to celebrate your new arrival in a way that feels right.
- Flexible Content: You have the freedom to include whatever you would like, readings, poems, music, or religious and spiritual elements.
- Supportive Words: I help supporting adults – parents, grandparents, guide parents – to find the right words for declarations and promises, demonstrating their commitment to the child’s journey from childhood to adulthood.
- Symbolic Actions: Consider adding special symbolic actions, like a sand ceremony or planting a tree, to enrich the ceremony and create lasting mementos.
- Flexible Locations: A Naming Ceremony can take place in any location, whether you prefer an intimate gathering or a grand celebration.
