CELEBRATE A NEW LIFE

BABY NAMING CEREMONY

Why not welcome your new bundle of joy into your family by holding a beautiful and highly personal ceremony to celebrate their life ahead? Every element will be uniquely designed to reflect your aspirations, beliefs and values. As every ceremony is personalised, you can hold your ceremony wherever you choose. Together we will plan every detail, so you can relax and enjoy this very special event with your children.

Bringing families together

If you wish to hold a ceremony without any religious connotations, then a baby naming ceremony is a wonderful alternative. As a parent, this ceremony can also celebrate your role in your child’s life, as well as thanking your own parents for your upbringing. Instead of ‘Godparents’, you can choose ‘Supportive’ or ‘Guiding Adults’, who can write and say meaningful promises to your child. And, as a family, you can involve grandparents and other family members too, including poem recitals, prayers or they can light a candle. A baby naming ceremony is a wonderful way to bring families together to celebrate your life journey together.

Special Moments, Created into Forever Memories
Why not make your ceremony even more special by choosing a unique keepsake for any children and family members involved? Select special colours of glass crystals for your personalised ceremony, then infuse with love and memories of your special day. The glass crystals are then blended together and made into a uniquely crafted piece of glass art. Please visit our Harmony Glass page for more details…

“Thank you again for making Lucy’s day so memorable.”

Celebrating a new life

As the content for your baby naming ceremony will be written specially for you, why not consider the following elements?

Music, poetry and readings
Family traditions and cultural customs
Blessings, prayers, hymns or religious elements

“Thank you so much for such a wonderful day. Such beautiful readings we will cherish forever.”

Choose your perfect ceremony

There are so many ways you can celebrate your baby’s new life. I always include special touches to ensure that your ceremony creates beautiful memories that you will always cherish. Below are just a few ideas:

Combine with a wedding or vow renewal – as your baby naming ceremony is always completely bespoke, you may choose to combine this with another special occasion, such as a Wedding or Vow Renewal. Together, we can plan and design the combined ceremony to ensure that every detail is taken care of. My aim is to always create your perfect ceremony.
Unity Candles – at any ceremony, candles are a spiritual symbol and a very emotive way of welcoming your new baby. Supporting adults and family members gift a unity candle and then light this to celebrate your child’s life. If a loved one is absent due to loss, or they’re not able to attend, you can display their photograph and light a candle for them to honour their role in the family.
Sand Ceremony – a beautiful adaption of the Unity Candle, which involves pouring coloured sands into a glass vessel to create a lasting keepsake. Each colour is symbolic of a different meaning for your baby’s future. A sand ceremony allows other children in the family to be involved in welcoming their new sibling to the world.
Rose ceremony – different coloured rose petals are gently sprinkled over the baby’s head by Supportive adults while poignant words are spoken in the background. As with every bespoke ceremony designed by Cariad, your choice of music will be played to create a very special and emotive experience.
The ‘Harmony Experience’ – the first of its kind in the UK, this unique ceremony allows you to choose different coloured glass crystals, which are then infused with love and memories. The glass crystals are then poured together to create a blend, which is then crafted into a beautiful glass art keepsake. For more details, please visit our Harmony Glass page.
Tree or Flower Planting Ceremony – a tree is chosen and, during the ceremony, each supporting adult, grandparent or friend comes forward to “plant” the tree together in a vessel. The tree is then transferred to the family’s garden, where its growth can be enjoyed in parallel with the child’s own growth.
Every family that books a naming ceremony with Cariad is gifted a special book called” Little Chick Flies to the Moon” written by Alison Delaney www.littlebirdproducts.org.uk
