Baptism and christening invitations

Online baptism and christening invitations

Welcome your newborn to the congregation and invite the happy godparents to join with a delicately designed baptism invitation card. (They're perfect for confirmation ceremonies, too.) It's your child's first formal introduction to their new extended family of godparents and fellow parishioners, so send out an invitation that makes a lovely first impression.

What to include in your baptism or christening invitation

While your baptism or christening invitations should be creative, they must also contain important info for the big day. Browse our list below to see what details should be included:

• Name: Whether they are a new arrival to the family or a later baptism, including the name of the honoree, is important.
• Prayer/Bible Verse: If you want to add a sentimental touch, you can include a prayer or Bible verse for the person or child who is receiving the baptism or christening. Adding this touch is a unique way to celebrate the special day on your religious invite.
• Location: Details should include the name and address of where the baptism will be occurring. Adding additional information such as parking is a nice addition to streamline the event and make access easier for guests upon arrival especially if it is a small space.
• Date & Time: Allow guests to mark their calendars with the date and time of the event.
• Clothing/Attire: Listing the attire will help your guests dress to impress for the day of the baptism or christening.
• Reception details: If you choose to have a gathering following the ceremony, it is nice to include details about the reception area along with if guests should bring gifts or food for the occasion.

Designing your custom baptism invitation

The dress code for your newborn might be white, but our online design tool will let you pick out soft pastels of blue and spring shades of pink for your card. Choose from a library of baptism invitation designs that include timelessly sweet hand-drawn flowers, lambs, and angels, as well as stately text-focused and graphic designs fit for your religious ceremony. You'll find options perfect for your child-including baptism invitations for boys and templates for girls, too. Add a finishing touch to your online delivery with an envelope liner or digital backdrop designed to match your child's baptism card. Whatever suits you and your baby's style, each invitation card makes a beautiful statement to your guests no matter what traditions they observe.

Catholic baptism invitations

Another way we keep our designs versatile is by allowing the wording to be edited as necessary for a Catholic baptism card or any other denomination, too. Customize every other little detail, too, and use a photo baptism invitation to send out a picture of your infant in their Sunday best. Make sure you've accounted for every well-wisher with our online address book, which effortlessly draws from your own e-mail contacts and allows you to create and combine custom lists of recipients. You can make the guest list as intimate or expansive as you like. While the event itself might only make the calendars of your nearest and dearest, an announcement of the big day is sure to delight many. Our RSVP tracking will let you account for each and every guest who's on the way to your baptism party and who's just happy to hear the good news.
