Baby Welcoming / Baby Blessing

Special and Personalized Services

 
 
“I’ll love you FOREVER, I’ll like you for ALWAYS,
As long as I’m living, my BABY you’ll be.”
— ROBERT MUNSCH

A baby welcoming is a way to celebrate your new baby when you are not connected to a particular religion.

I will work with you to gather information that is personal and significant to you, and write a unique service so you can celebrate with those closest to you — your family and friends (and of course eat delicious cake)!

 

It’s been said:
“Family – a link to the past; a bridge to our future.”

 

And if you would like a bit more detail

 

As a celebrant the most important thing for me is that you have a special and unique ceremony that welcomes your new child — baby, adoption, young age. A Baby Naming Ceremony can also be referred to as Baby Welcoming or Baby Blessings and is an alternative for families who are not involved with a church or religion.

  • This ceremony will be unique to you, your child and your family.

  • You can involve your family and friends — truly a very special time for Grandparents.

  • Promises can be made to show your precious child your love, support and guidance — and your hopes for his/her future.

  • Special music and readings can be incorporated.

  • The ceremony is non-religious however prayers or scripture can be included.

  • Cultural traditions can be included and are encouraged.

  • Personal mementos can be added by family and friends to your child’s time capsule — a capsule full of treasures that can be opened at a later time.

  • There are no set guidelines nor rules to follow.

Kind Words

  • “Just to say a happy thank you for the wonderful ceremony you did for A’s Naming. It was lovely to hear how much people cared for and celebrated my son’s first year. I felt privileged for everyone to feel part of it. We thought it was very personal and had a lovely atmosphere. I found it really touching, and everyone enjoyed Colleen’s warm wishes and personable services.”
