The dedication of a baby is a religious ceremony where the parents make a promise before God and the church to raise their child in the ways of their religion. It is a public opportunity to declare the intention of the parents to set a godly example for their child and to teach them religious beliefs and ideals. A baby dedication is a joyful time to celebrate new life, and friends and family are usually invited to the church to witness the ceremony. Invitations should be sent out a few weeks prior to the dedication so people can save the date for the ceremony. Does this Spark an idea? - by eHow
