When a child is born or given a name, friends and relatives will want to wish the baby well, welcome them to the world, and find a special way of expressing their love, hope and blessings. Share these words with friends and families – touching and eloquent as a message sent with a baby gift, clear and immediate if you choose to read them aloud at a naming ceremony.
