A non-religious and not expensive Ceremony to welcome a child into a family with the appointment of Godparent/Mentors.  It is said that Naming Ceremonies were happening during the time of the Roman Empire before Christian Baptisms.

A child may have not had a Naming Ceremony as a baby - a Naming Ceremony can be a nice way to celebrate a child's birthday.  As well as Naming Certificate with Ceremony print-out in clear press stud folder, Certificates are also presented to God Parent/Mentors & Grandparents.

Ceremonies can include Candle Lighting, Flowers with a Wish, Balloon Release with a Wish (you need to supply basket of flowers/Balloons), Cultural inclusions or, words only.  Naming Candle can include child's photo (you need to email me photo).
