I am considering having a celebration for the birth of our daughter. We're not part of any particular Church, and although many religions have particular ceremonies (ex: baptism) which serve religious and community purposes, this would not really be appropriate for us.
I have heard of naming ceremonies, but I'm not really sure that this is a viable option - I mean, our baby is already three months old and everybody already knows her name!
We are wondering what would be appropriate to do. Essentially, I like the non-religious elements of a typical after-baptism party, where the family and close friends are together, and there's a celebration and acknowledgement of the safe arrival of the baby.
We also want to ensure that this is not perceived as a gift-grab, as we really don't want people to give gifts.
Any ideas?
