Naming Ceremony?
Hi all, we have been thinking it would be nice to have a naming ceremony for Alexis, kinda like a non-religious christening, where we formally introduce her to our family and friends and welcome her into our family. The problem is we're a bit stuck for ideas of what to do as part of the event. We would like it to be quite relaxed and inclusive of everyone who comes. So if you have any ideas about what could be good, please, please leave a comment to this post, we're open to any ideas, and would be really gratefull!

A naming ceremony is a great idea, and whatever you decide to do will be right for you. As a suggestion, how about a picnic at the park at the end of Portage Road. People can come and go and it's not far. Arrange for a Saturday with Sunday if the weather isn't good.
We'd love to be there but unlikely to be in NZ.
Well I was kinda thinking we could piggy-back onto your wedding, maybe a few days later, while there's some family in town... Sure she'll be a bit older, but (hopefully) more settled and predictable!
That would be great if it can be arranged. Norm & Kath will be leaving the day after though so it would probably have to be Sunday 2nd April. Not sure when David Mina, & boys leave, and Adrian & Robin can't make it. If that sounds ok, we can think about a venue - a picnic for overseas visitors isn't suitable, maybe a vinyard around Henderson or something
Are we on the right track?
A vineyard sounds rather.. formal.. I was just thinking of a nice few hours where people can relax and enjoy themselves. And anyway who do we know who is too posh to sit on a blanket eating a sausage in a slice of bread? Well... we can probably organise something a bit nicer than sausages in bread ;)
My cousins had a naming ceremony fir their first baby, everyone at the ceremony was given a coloured stone and was asked to make a wish/comment for the baby and place their stone in a special box for the child.
Was a great way of including everyone in the ceremony and quite cheap too.
