NAMING CEREMONY - AN IDEAL FAMILY DAY!

I conducted a beautiful Naming Ceremony yesterday at Blue Gum Hills Regional Reserve at Minmi near Newcastle. I'd never been to the park before - it was so perfect for all the children invited to the Naming to explore - with a maze, replica mine, cubby houses plus a Treetops Walk. Grandparents and the great grandma were there and two lovely young girls played a violin recitall that was breathtakingly beautiful. It was such a lovely opportunity to gather family and friends together to welcome a little one into all their lives - a little one who smiled non-stop throughout the proceeding!

ROSE PETAL SHOWER FOR A LITTLE PETAL!

My last post was about a rose ceremony at a wedding. But roses - and rose petals - are also perfect for a non-religious baby naming ceremony - making a lovely and significant alternative to a water sprinkling. One godparent or guardian can drop white rose petals on the baby, symbolising a childhood innocence that hopefully will last; another can use yellow petals for friendship - evoking the friends who will bless the baby in the years ahead. Then another can sprinkle pink petals representing love that knows no bounds. The fourth can use red petals to reflect life and the passions the baby will find there.

A naming ceremony offers a sense of tradition, of occasion and is a formal way of offering love and reassurances towards a new baby. It's also the perfect way to introduce a child into your circle of family and friends and to celebrate one of life's continuing miracles. Nowadays many people choose to wait until their baby's first birthday to hold a naming ceremony -  a double celebration!

To be chosen to be part of someone's celebration is a true privilege. And knowing you have helped to create special moments in other people's lives is a feeling to be really cherished.
And, when feedback like this is received, it is something to be truly treasured...

"I searched the internet and found  Rebecca. I liked her website and her past ceremonies had spoken so highly of her.

"I gave her a call and she was lovely!! Rebecca is very organised and helped us to create a ceremony that is special to us. We discussed what we wanted for the naming ceremony and she gave me ideas on how to make it unique to our family. She is also  very creative and helped us build on our ideas.

"On the day she arrived punctually and made our family feel very welcome. She didn’t rush us even though we had quite a few late arrivals! It all ran effortlessly and all our guests commented how lovely and personal Rebecca was."

Thank you Alicia so much for those very lovely words.
