Your child's first birthday

Why not incorporate a Naming day ceremony into a first birthday celebration ?

During their first year a child has so many significant milestones - their first smile, laugh or step.

A first birthday party which includes a Naming ceremony is an ideal opportunity for parents to share their hopes and aspirations for their child's future.

Often couples like to add a symbolic action into their wedding or commitment ceremony.  Mixing liquids is quite popular but  why not at a twist ?

Mix your own cocktail !

Below are a couple of quick and easy cocktails to make and share.

Elderflower and Gin Sherbert

Ingredients
  • 50 ml elderflower cordial
  • 50 ml good-quality gin
  • 1 handful ice
  • 150 ml bitter lemon
  • a few strips lemon zest

Mix the elderflower cordial and gin together in a small glass or cup. Put crushed ice into your serving  glass.  Pour over the gin mixture. Top with bitter lemon and a few strips of lemon zest. Enjoy.


French 75

Ingredients
  • 2 ounces gin
  • 1 ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • Champagne or sparkling wine
  • Garnish: long thin lemon spiral and cocktail cherry
Fill cocktail shaker with ice. Shake gin, lemon juice, and sugar in a cocktail shaker until well chilled, about 15 seconds. Strain into a champagne flute.

    Choosing a Celebrant to help you create that special ceremony is an important step towards making your occasion a really memorable one.  Why not take advantage of the free initial meeting I offer ?  I believe it is important  to meet informally to discuss your ideas and what I can offer.  Meeting also gives us an opportunity to explore the type of ceremony that would best suit your needs.
