Your child’s baptism, or christening if you prefer, is a special event. It is an amazing moment, and it deserves to be recognized and made truly memorable. Even though your baby won’t remember the day, you and your family will and your child will enjoy hearing stories about this event as he or she grows up. With a little planning, you can give your child a beautiful, memorable baptism that will serve as a strong religious foundation for them.

Your next step will be to choose your baby’s Godparents. Your child’s Godparents will help you with your child’s spiritual upbringing. They will help teach your child about your religion, so you will definitely want to choose Godparents who are the same religion as you. It is important that you choose someone who will always be part of your child’s life. If you do not pick a family member, try to choose someone you believe will maintain regular contact with your child even if one of you moves. Many people choose name the Godparents as the Legal Guardians of their child if something should happen to them. You can see why this decision is so important.

Once you know about your church’s specific requirements, the date and time are set, and the Godparents have agreed; you are ready to send out the invitations. Custom invitations are beautiful and unique, but even store bought invitations are lovely and will work nicely. The main thing is to take the time to send written invitations.

You may want to have a gathering after the ceremony for Godparents and all the people who choose to attend this amazing event. The first choice here is to decide where the gather will be held. For very small affairs with mostly family attending, you could have this at home and cater it yourself. For larger events you might want to see about renting a place that can hold more people. If your church does individual baptisms you can ask about renting a hall at the church. Once you know how many people are attending and where you will have the reception, you can meet with a caterer to decide on the menu.

At some point during this process you will need to choose your baby’s christening gown. Some family’s have special, heirloom christening gowns that are actually worn by most of the baby’s. If your family has such a tradition, you can follow it or you can choose to buy an outfit just for your baby. Christening gowns are a little like wedding dresses in that they can be anything from extremely basic and simple to very elaborate and detailed. If you are buying your baby’s christening outfit new, take the time to shop around for the perfect outfit for this special occasion.

It’s also a good idea to find a special gift that will forever be a reminder of this special day. A bible or prayer book can be the perfect gift. You can add the date and location of the baptism to the notes in the book, as well as the name of the priest or minister and who the Godparents are. This special book can serve as a moral guide during their lives as well as a reminder of this important event.
