Giving a Christening or
|
Presenting guests with a christening or baptism favor is not required according to etiquette but certainly does add that extra special touch to the celebration.
Favors are small tokens given to guests to express your gratitude for their attending your special occasion. They can be homemade or purchased. Having them personalized will also create a reminder of your celebration long after it's over.
Baptism and christening favors can come in many shapes and forms. Take, for instance, the favors pictured at the top of this page.
The elegant 'Charming' Silver Cross Bell pictured can be used simply as a take-home favor or it can also hold placecards to first let your guests know the seating arrangement.
For a truly unique baptism favor, the 'Blessings' Silver Cross Bookmark pictured above comes in an intricately designed gift box fashioned to resemble a miniature Bible.
The last picture above is of the Filigree Cross Votive with Silver Cross Charm. When also used as decorations, christening or baptismal favors, such as votive candles, can really dress up table settings for a more themed look.
Some favors are edible, such as candies packaged in favor boxes or bags. Pictured here are the 'Blessings' Christening / Baptism Favor Boxes that you can fill with your own treat and then complete them by tying closed with the 'Blessings' printed ribbon and adding the cross charm.
Chocolate bars with custom wrappers also make perfect favors since the wrapper can be personalized and have graphics specific to the occasion. The wrappers pictured above for Baptisms and Christenings can be personalized, purchased and easily wrapped around small candy bars you provide.
If your favors will be themed to your celebration, common symbols include crosses, candles, angels, doves, and the Bible.
If a color choice is required, white is very appropriate since it represents innocence, purity and holiness.
Here is another set of 3 votive candle holders that come with each one printed with either 'Faith', 'Hope', or 'Love'. These 3 words are perfect as a Christening or Baptism favor and can also serve as table decorations.
