I welcome the guests to the blustery picnic naming!

Guide Parents sign the Naming day certificate

I introduce the Guide Parents to everyone…

The Guide Parents read their personal commitments to Alfie.

Me and the star of the show, Alfie. And of course, Mum and Dad!

A day of laughter and celebration!

2 special people are asked to read…

Mum and Dad listen to the story of them and their child being told…

Granny reads her Granddaughter’s favourite bedtime story to her…

Guide-parents, Odd-parents, Guardians or Earth Parents (in this case) read their promises to the child…

A couple of good friends are asked to sing and play the guitar.

All the guests get involved in a salutation to the Elements represented by the Cardinal directions, North, East, South and West…

Everyone enjoys a cracking buffet after the ceremony.

Egg and spoon race for the kiddlies!

The ceremony kicks off with a Mexican Hug!! Have a hug and pass it on people! An excellent way to break the ice!

A beautiful table set up to celebrate the formal naming and 1st birthday of beautiful Molly.

Naming certificate and Words of Wisdom book for the child to look at when she is older…

A beautiful naming ceremony at The Field Kitchen in Holt including a tree planting ceremony and a well wishing tree which was covered in messages to the wee one by the end of the afternoon!
