Baby Naming ceremonies have no legal or religious requirements and parents can compile a ceremony as personalised and unique as they choose.
Within the ceremony parents can make promises to care for their child as best they can for as long as the child may need it, to thank grandparents, and to acknowledge siblings in their new role as older brother or sister. Rose petals are sprinkled over the baby’s head while the child’s chosen names are announced, and any reasons behind the choice can be shared.
Each colour of the rose petals represent different qualities and aspiration such as innocence, friendships to come,tender love and compassion, and kindle the fire of love for life.
