Christening and Baptism Invitations
|
When buying your christening or baptism announcements, be sure to order a few extra to allow for guests you might think of later and for possible envelope addressing errors. Be sure to also save a few as keepsakes.
Important Details to Include on
Your Christening or Baptism Invitations
- Baby's Name
- Parents' Names
- Date and Time of Baptism or Christening Ceremony
- Location Name and Address
- Time and Location of Party (if separate from ceremony) - on some styles this information can be listed as a left corner copy to appear at the bottom of the christening or baptism invite. If there isn't enough room on the invitation itself, you could include a separate reception card but this could cost you more in postage due to the extra weight not to mention the cost of another printed card.

DO YOU WANT YOUR GUESTS TO RSVP?
Depending on how formal your ceremony and celebration will be and how many guests you are inviting, you might want to include some type of RSVP on the baptism invitation. This can range from placing your phone number at the bottom of the invitation to actually including a separate response card that would be mailed back by your guests. Having your guests RSVP will help you plan for both seating and food arrangements, especially if you're inviting quite a few guests.
When ordering baptism or christening invitations through a printer, some of the more formal invitation styles will have a matching response card available. If you do include a separate response card, be sure to place a postage stamp on its accompanying envelope. Your address will already be printed on the envelope so your guests can easily mail it back and it won't cost them anything.
Thank You Note Cards for
Baptism & Christening Invitations
Remember to purchase your
thank you cards
for sending after the baptism or christening. Because this is such a special occasion that is shared with your family and friends, you want to choose thank you note cards that are also special to this celebration. Sometimes you'll find thank you cards that match the christening or baptism invitation you choose.
If your invitation style doesn't come with matching cards, there are plenty of baptism and christening styles to choose from. When they are ordered from a printer, there is typically an option to have it personalized with your baby's name on the front.
