A warm family celebration
A naming day ceremony is a warm, love-filled way to officially welcome your child into the world, surrounded by family and friends who are their village. It’s a relaxed celebration where everyone is invited to play a part, share their hopes, or offer guidance. All beliefs and backgrounds are embraced, creating a truly inclusive moment of welcome.
When families ask how to organise a naming ceremony, I guide them through gentle options such as cultural elements, meaningful readings and poems, and simple rituals like candles or blessings. And yes, do you have godparents at a naming ceremony? Absolutely. You may choose godparents, guideparents or mentors to play a special role, making the moment even more personal and heartfelt.

how your naming day comes together
Start with a relaxed chat
We begin with an easy, informal conversation about your hopes for the naming day and any cultural touches or family traditions you’d like to include. This is a chance to talk through what matters most to you and the kind of celebration you’re imagining.
Shape the ceremony together
From there, we explore readings, poems, music and simple rituals that feel right for your family. I’ll share plenty of examples and ideas to make organising a naming ceremony feel simple and enjoyable, then draft a warm, personalised script for you to review.
Celebrate and welcome your child
On the day, we gather with your loved ones for a heartfelt, joy-filled moment that officially welcomes your child into your world — and your village. It’s a gentle, meaningful celebration of new beginnings and shared love.
