Some documents you need to prepare for your child’s baptism
Before we go into our top choices for baptismal gowns for your little girl, you’ll have to submit a few documents to your parish. This usually includes your marriage certificate, the child’s birth certificate, and baptismal certificates or confirmation certificates of your child’s godparents.
Of course, these may differ from one parish to another, so please make sure to consult your parish first. Now that’s settled, let’s check out some baptism dress for baby girl.
What to look for in a baptismal gown?
When choosing your baby girl’s baptism dress, look into the following qualities:
- Design and color
- Baptismal gowns are usually white because they symbolize purity. However, there are modern takes on the traditional baptismal gowns now. Make sure to ask your parish first if this is allowed.
- In the past, baptism dresses tended to be long. These days, though, there are shorter gowns, which might be more comfortable for your little one.
- Comfort
- It can get pretty hot here in the Philippines so make sure you’ll take that into account when you’re choosing your baby girl’s baptism dress.
- Choose gowns with lightweight and breathable fabrics, too.
