An added bonus, you can have them whenever you want! If you aren’t quite ready just after the birth as you don’t feel you have the time to prepare (or had enough sleep!) don’t worry you can hold a naming ceremony weeks, months or even combine it with a birthday. So why do we do it? You are bringing together your family and friends in welcoming your child into your circle and into the world with a celebration filled with laughter and fun– and that sounds pretty special to me!
