Naming Ceremonies (2 Viewers)

Don't want to go the christening route, so thinking of something along the lines of a naming ceremony.
Has anyone done anything similar?

We had a garden party with all the family and friends during the summer. It was deadly.

Good idea.
But yea, this is when you realise that basically no body cares that you just had a kid.

Congrats neilo

Sorry Neilo, I meant that in the nicest possible way. Like, don't worry too much about a replacement christening. People will be happy for you but that's about it.

We had a family only thing in Herbert Park. Read some poems, said a few words, had a glass of Cava then went for a big family meal. Low on hassle, high on enjoyment.

we never bothered, still max on fun tho

 

[MDR]

Have they dropped the "and shaming" part of naming ceremonies these days?

PS: congrats Neilo.

Congratulations neilo

We had a barbecue in our garden for each of ours. My parents refer to them as "christenings" even though they weren't. They were nice

Just have a wee get-together, in honour of the new kid. It'll be nice, cosy. And you might get some presents out of it...

Trust me, you don't need an excuse for the rellies to give presents
