In the past decade a new kind of ceremony, called baby blessing, has become more popular. A baby blessing can be alternative to a traditional baptism or christening for couples of different faiths and those who do not have ties to a church.

These ceremonies can be tailored to fit the parent's wishes. They can combine elements of different religions and ceremonies, and bring the families together to celebrate the new baby.
