Name Givings
An alternative to a christening, a name giving event allows a new born to be introduced to its family and wider community. The use of readings, symbols and other facets of the ceremony provide the parents with an opportunity to acknowledge significant people in the baby's life and to explain the name chosen for the baby.
Certificates are provided for the baby, grandparents or guardians to mark the day and their role in the ceremony. Themes such as "fairies" and "teddy bears" are often used to personalise the day. And wish boxes, signature frames, videos etc are all wonderful ways to collect memories of the day.
