Welcoming and acknowledging a new baby in a family is a joyous occasion and is a pleasure to celebrate.  A Dragonfly led ceremony will reflect the hopes and dreams you have for your child. These wishes for their future can be woven into the ceremony to create something extremely special, meaningful and unique.

Perhaps as parents you will want to make vows or promises to your child about those things that really matter to you? We can create a space for grandparents and siblings to be closely involved in aspects of the ceremony. For example, using a unity candle for separate members of the family to light together which creates a brighter, stronger flame symbolising the strength that lies within family bonds.

The role of ‘guide parents’ (or ‘sparents’!) can be focussed on different aspects of a child’s life. Do you have close friends or siblings who have special talents or interests that they can encourage in your child? Will one take on a responsibility for introducing your child to sport or outdoor adventures? Will another teach them crafts or take them to castles to feed their imagination? Who will be perfect for helping with science projects, or teach them how to play the guitar? Each guide parent can make different vows depending on the role they are taking on, as well as a collective vow to always be there to listen and support your child throughout their life.
