Please join us to welcome Ava to the family at her naming ceremony on Saturday 7 June at 1pm at the Orangery, with a garden party after.
We are giving Ava her name, with a few readings and promises from her guide parents. Come and celebrate with us.
A small ceremony and a big party: you are invited to Ava's naming day.

What to ask your guests
Keep it short: The reply form always asks for each guest's name, yes, maybe or no, how many are coming and which parts of the day they will join. Add any of these as your own questions, as a choice or a short answer, and you get a count for each choice:
- How many adults and children
- Any dietary needs
- Would you like to give a reading?
When to send it
Send it four to six weeks before, a little earlier if family travel.
