Organise & Book your Naming Ceremonies

About Naming Ceremonies

A Naming Ceremony is non-religious event where parents can gather with family and friends to welcome their child into the family; and officially name them. Often there is no legal status to the ceremony, it is just a chance to celebrate and get together. For example, the baby may have 'Godparents', but this would have been agreed away from the ceremony and legalized elsewhere. In a modern modernist world, many parents may not choose this route, especially if the parents are not of the same religion.

Because there is no legal aspect to Naming Ceremonies, they can be held at home, in the garden, in a park, in the woods, at a hotel or at your local community centre. Consider how you can decorate your venue with balloons and bunting, and as the ceremony is very child related, look at entertainment including bouncy castles and games machines.

Some fun catering options for children would include chocolate fountains, sweet trolleys, and slush ice machines. Also consider catering for the adults such as sandwiches, or a buffet. Look at a suitable mobile bar or drinks service if catering for adults, not forgetting soft drinks for the children.

There are also many children’s entertainers to consider including balloon entertainers, jugglers, and magicians; as well as live bands and potentially a DJ if the event is planned to go on.
