Tips on preparing for your baby's christening
To ensure that everything will go smoothly for your baby girl’s christening, here are some tips that you have to take note:
Know the perfect date for the baptism ceremony.
When you have enough savings for the christening of your little one, then it is time to think when is the best date for it. You should consider your and your partner’s schedule to avoid any conflicts.
Usually, baptism happens on weekends, Sunday, so that your guests can also attend the ceremony and join the celebration after.
Church schedule and booking.
When you already chose where you want your baby to be baptized, it’s time to make an inquiry. Check on the church’s date and time availability.
You can also book for a private ceremony or you can choose a public ceremony. Public ceremony is cheaper compared to private ones, since the baptism activity is done together with other babies who are scheduled for christening.
Choosing your baby’s godparents.
Godparents also play an important role for the christening of your little one. They are the ones who also need to witness the baptism of your baby.
At the ceremony, they will commit that they will watch over and act like a second parent to your child. Usually, couples choose their relatives, close friends or colleagues to be godparents.
Prepare the things needed for the ceremony.
Candles are commonly used during christening. Traditionally, a ribbon was tied on the body of the candle. The ribbon’s color will depend on your baby’s gender, pink for a baby girl and blue for a baby boy.
The quantity should depend on the number of godparents you’ve chosen but we recommend having excess candles at least 2 to 3 pcs. And don’t forget to bring a lighter or matchbox just in case needed.
Shop for your baby girl’s outfit.
There are lots of christening outfits that you can buy on the market. A white, comfy gown would be nice for your baby girl. Match it with a white hat and white or silver shoes. Remember that it doesn’t have to be expensive because it will be used for just a day.
The celebration after the ceremony.
You can throw a simple party after the ceremony. You can choose if you want the venue of the party at a restaurant near the church or you can also throw the celebration at your home. If you choose to book the event at an event’s place or restaurant, check their menu.
Some are offering party packages that are pocket-friendly. But if you choose your home as the venue of the party, make sure that there are people who can cook for you and arrange the whole place.
Invitation
Now that you have already identified your little one’s date of christening, booked a schedule at church, chose her godparents and decided where to throw the after party, it is time to make invitations. Traditional invitations are in the form of cards.
If you still want to hand it to your guests, there are still printing shops that offer designing and printing of customized invitations. But you may opt to send your guests an electronic invitation which is a lot cheaper and very convenient.
