Prayers you may incorporate into the ceremony

Honoree #1:May the newborn child be an auspicious sign, may he grow and develop like a flourishing garden, may he soar, succeed and be spared misfortune. Blessed are you, the community of my faithful, and blessed is he who comes in the name of Hashem.

Honoree #2:May the lot granted us be pleasant, and in his days may we ascend to Jerusalem to worship in the Temple, to the house of Hashem old and young. Blessed are you, the community of my faithful, and blessed is he who comes in the name of Hashem.

Honoree #3:Remember Your mercy and the covenantal blood, bear in mind Your sheep, the sheep of the remnant. Through the messiah may our enemies abate to nothingness. Please Hashem, send Eliyahu Hanavi. Blessed are you, the community of my faithful, and blessed is he who comes in the name of Hashem.

Honoree #4:This child has merited his bris milah, may his loving parents merit to bring him to the chupah, may the redeeming angel bless him, may he be worthy to behold the pleasantness of Hashem. Blessed are you, the community of my faithful, and blessed is he who comes in the name of Hashem

English prayer many parents read after the ceremony:

Master of the Universe, we thank You for the precious gift of new life, and for the blessing of parenthood, which allows us to share in the miracle of creation. Eternal Creator, we ask Your continued blessing. Grant our child length of days and vigor of body and mind. Endow us an understanding of love, that we may rear our son to manhood imbued with love of Torah and the performance of good deeds. May we be privileged to bring him to the chupah. Amen.
