Celebrate the birth of your child in a special, non-traditional way with a Baby Blessing Ceremony. If, like a growing number of parents, you would like to celebrate the birth of your child but have decided against a christening, alternatives such as a baby blessing, naming ceremony, welcoming ceremony or simple “naming day” are becoming increasingly popular. To celebrate the birth or first year of your child’s life, you can implement the sacred traditions of many different cultures and religions and adapt them to meet your own personal beliefs and requirements.
