A Naming Day is a wonderful opportunity to create a personalised ceremony that truly reflects your values and beliefs as a couple and as parents. It offers a chance to welcome your child into the world in a way that feels authentic and meaningful to you. Whether you choose a simple and intimate ceremony or a more formal affair, this special occasion allows you to bestow a name upon your child and make meaningful commitments to their well-being and upbringing.
Importantly, a Naming Day is not a legal ceremony, so there is no requirement for licenses or paperwork. However, as your celebrant, I will provide you with a keepsake certificate to cherish for years to come.
