Baby blessings, an alternative to a traditional baptism or christening, have become more popular among couples of different faiths and those who may not have ties to a specific church. Many families agree that the benefit is that the ceremony can be tailored to exactly the parent’s wishes. Usually there is a vow to love the child unconditionally and guide them through their life. This can involve the whold family. Baby blessings help fill the need for ritual if you’re not religious or don’t belong to a specific religious community. The ceremony is a service that brings all family members together to honor the child.
Fee: $300
Our Baby Blessings Ceremony was absolutely beautiful, the perfect way to bring family together to cherish, honor and celebrate a new life. Rev. Shirley is open to making the ceremony what you want it to be. It makes you feel like your child is being surrounded with love and support from their whole family, living and passed. The ceremony is so moving we have gone back with each child we've welcome. We are not big with organized religion but this ceremony was exactly what we were looking for as a spiritual family. As a plus it also satisfied my very organized religion relatives. Could not be happier. - Jenna 2023
