A naming ceremony is a great opportunity to talk about the child, your family values, your hopes for the future and appoint the godparents (we can call them something else if you prefer).

These are becoming more and more popular in Australia and I can see why, as they are wonderful family events. They are normally held at the time of the 1st birthday but they can be done anytime in the child's life. I don't charge any extra if you want to do all your children at the same time. You can hold your ceremony in any location – your home or garden, a local park, beach or hired venue.

I will provide you with a wonderful Parent's Resource Kit full of ceremony inspiration to help you plan a meaningful and memorable ceremony. It contains lots of modern reading and ritual ideas. Nothing too corny!

I can help you make certain promises and commitments to your child. Don't worry if you aren't a great writer. I'll help you say something from the heart.

I'll make it fun and memorable for everyone involved. I have lots of ways to include the guests and make them feel included.

I provide beautiful commemorative certificates for the child, the parents and the godparents.

At the end, we should celebrate with CAKE!
