Many parents these days do not necessarily want a traditional church christening, either because they do not hold any religious beliefs themselves, or because they may want their child to be able to choose their own beliefs as they get older.

If you have older children, you might like to include them in the ceremony as well. If they are old enough, they may like to read a poem, sing a song or play an instrument.
If they are too young to actually participate in the ceremony itself, then it may be that you simply add a few extra words to welcome the older child as a “big brother or sister”, and reaffirm your love and commitment to your older child/children at the same time.

Guideparents
The Guideparents will promise to take a special interest in your child’s future, to be there as a friend and a source of welcoming advice for the child outside of the immediate family as he or she grows up.
Guideparents are encouraged whenever possible to write their own promises to the child, so that they can be personal and meaningful and will hopefully be promises that each can keep.
