I'm not religious so instead of a christening I'd like to have like a little blessing for my daughter. Just a little get together with some people I've picked to be her 'guideparents' instead of 'godparents' as I want them to help guide her through life instead of doing it through any religious means. Has anyone done anything similar or has any ideas as to what I should do?

You could hire a small hall or have a gathering at your home with some food and drinks invite friends family have a speech and give the guide parents some flowers ect and pronounce. Xx sounds like a lovely idea!! @mum2sky xx

@west94 that sounds so lovely! I wasn't sure whether to give them gifts or not or even where to hold it but I think in a hall would be nice and the flowers idea is great thank u so much! Xx

I think it would be such a special memorable day!! And you could find some flowers with a special meaning as flowers represent different things xx @mum2sky

@west94 Yeah that's true. I might do it in like a youth centre or something like that where there's a little play area for kids maybe x

That sounds so lovely! My OH's parents are constantly asking when the christening is for our daughter and I'm not religious at all so in my head I just am like 'never' but don't want to be that blunt! I may do something similar it's such a great idea! Xx☺️

@genieh that's how I was hun. Then I started googling blessings and it's such a lovely idea. A bit pricey if you want to hire the person but I think it's worth it xx

Yeah I'll see what my OH thinks☺️ I might just do without that too and just have a family get together for her as though it was a christening/ blessing but just a celebration of her instead! Xx

@genieh Yeah that sounds really nice. Let me know how it all goes :) xx
