OPTIONAL CEREMONY ENHANCEMENTS:

Candle-Lighting Ceremony

The candle flame symbolically represents the child’s new life, and lighting a candle for the child further represents the promises we make to remain illuminated for this child for all time. This is great way to include the “special someone(s)” in your child’s life. For details, just call me...

Wishing/Blessing Stones (or sea shells)

Stones are a great way to include everyone present at the ceremony! Smooth stones and fine-tipped permanent markers are handed to everyone who attends. They are to create a phrase or word that captures what they wish the baby will be blessed with.

During the ceremony, each person holds the stone in his/her hand, and together we bless the stones with our intentions, and then each participant adds his/her stone into an apothecary glass jar. However, the parents and special someone(s) place theirs into the bowl of water, with which I use to bless the child. Thus everyone is involved, energetically connected and part of the Baby Blessing, and you get to keep this lovely keepsake in the baby’s bedroom!

Tree Planting Ceremony

This is a perfect way to commemorate your child’s birth and include other members of the family. This Ceremony Enhancement represents the nurturing and tender-loving care required for your child to grow. Love is the root from which all things spring forth, and the hope is that, not only will your child’s growth mirror that of the tree, but your relationship and love for one another and for your child will mature and blossom just as the tree you planted. It will serve as a visual reminder of your commitment to your child because, just as the tree will need daily, constant care, a healthy child requires constant nurturing and nourishment. This is a wonderful way to include other family members! Vessels of soil are given to Parents, Godparents, Grandparents, and/or siblings to surround the sapling in its container.

Parental vows

Parents as well as Godparents can formulate vows/promises to their child. This usually includes the promise to take care of child throughout its life for whatever comes, raise the child in a loving and non-violent way and also to try to be a positive role model.

Introduction of Godfather/Godmother

Even without a church, it is a nice ritual to connect your child with a (secular/worldly) godfather or godmother. They can say a view words, how they will fulfill their new role and deliver good wishes for the baby. They can also express their "vows" as godparents (what do they promise you and the child?).

Presenting of Gifts

The parents, grandparents and/or Godparents can give the child a gift during the ceremony for all to witness. Parents can also give tokens of appreciation to the presenters of gifts.

Closing Ceremony Enhancement Options:

• Bubbles
• Sea Shell Toss
• Balloon Release
• Sprinkling of Petals

The Ceremony Enhancement will be adapted to the meaning you wish for it to convey, so let’s discuss some options together.
