                          Working closely with the parents and family, I will design a
heartfelt ceremony that you will remember always. Your baby's ceremony can be as
large or small as you like and may include all significant family members (parents,
grandparents, siblings and friends (godparents, guideparents)
.

Enjoy the Planning...
Step away from bottles, diapers and exhaustion and succumb to the wonder that washes
over you when you hold your baby's sweet perfection. Talk about your dreams for this
child and explain why you chose your baby's name. Connect and express your love and
respect for your partner and co-parent. If there are other children, explain your pride in
your family and how wonderful your children are. From this we will make an amazing
ceremony where we'll celebrate your joy in this precious baby and your community will
promise to help you as you raise your family.

Feel Comfortable and Calm...
No baby blessing ever happened on time. Babies cry and they throw up, but they are
perfect just the same. This is not a formal wedding, this is a celebration of kids. When
everyone is gathered, we'll say the words we have prepared that welcome and dedicate
your lives and the life of this new baby. When kids are involved, there are always
surprises -- and that's as it should be!

Revel in This Special Event...
This is the first time in this child's life that you come to his community and ask for love
and support. It will not be the last, but it will set the tone for all the times to come. I will
ask your community members for their pledges of love and support. Together we will
dedicate your baby to a life well lived. Together we will make a covenant to protect him,
and all babies, against the problems in this world and we will promise to enjoy the
journey that is the life of this child.

Remember Your Promises for Years to Come...
Create a blessing of the baby and her name will echo in your mind and heart forever. For
years to come you will hear my voice leading you and your community through the
covenant you're creating with one another around this child. These words will be a guide
as you move through the world as a family.

Community Blessings....
As part of the ceremony, we ask your guests who attend to include their blessings for
your child.  Each guest will receive a decorative
Blessing Note on which to write their
wishes These are collected and given to you to share with your child at a pre-selected
time in the future.

What is Included with Your Ceremony...
One in-person meeting at Many Blessings office and additional telephone or email
consultations to finalize preparations for the ceremony. You will receive decorative
Blessing Notes for your each of your guests, a printed copy of the text of the ceremony,
and a decorative certificate commemorating the date of this special occasion. There
