You may want to involve siblings, grandparents, "god" parents, friends or others who will be involved in the life of your child. Siblings should have a place of honor in the ceremony - if time allows, have each child create a picture of him/her with the new baby. During the ceremony, ask the child(ren) to share what they drew and explain what it is. Or, frames the pictures and have the child(ren) present the picture to the baby during the ceremony.
Consider asking each guest to bring their favorite "growing up" or child-related quote to the event which you can then paste into a special "baby" book along with a picture of the author and little bit about who he/she is.
Or, steal an idea from the bride and provide a picture matte and pen for guests to sign as they arrive. Create a collage of the ceremony pictures, frame with the picture matte and hang in your baby's room.
Whatever you decide - have the ceremony you want and the celebration your family deserves!
