I googled naming day and read that its a non-religious ceremony to introduce and welcome your baby/child to your family and friends it also gives the parents the opportunity to name god parents/mentors.
I wanted to do one after she was born but never had the opportunity but i think having one as well as a farewell will be nice.
Lol, I just googled non religious ceremonies too ... Yeah I would have thought more guardian/mentor type thing as 'god parent' sounds rather religious.. I think it's a lovely idea to have a farewell like that.. Mine will be more of a welcoming baby ceremony and hopefully give my friends/family from interstate the opportunity to come up and meet baby
I have started organising mine atm LMS for when my babe is here. I have organised a celebrant, family, friends and light luncheon. DH and I aren't highly religious more earthy so thought this would be great alternative I have nominated god parents but am getting it to be quite informal so no pressure for them. Lots of pretty poems and at the end of the ceremony get everyone to blow bubbles. Also was thinking getting a signature bear so guests can sign. Are you going to have a celebrant? (You don't necessary need one I read) I was hesitant to have one cos so $$$ but in the end the thought of me public speaking in front of 30 guests freaks me out so rather her do it,lol.
