Invitation to a child's baptism

Any holiday begins with bright and original invitations! Christenings are no exception and that’s why we have prepared some interesting preparations for you!

These can be either standard-shaped cards with interesting scrap elements, or stylish christening invitations of original shape and content.

Don’t forget to fill out the invitation to the child’s christening beautifully, writing the place and time of the holiday, the possible style or dress code for the guests, as well as wishes for gifts.

How to celebrate christening? Preparation

To celebrate a christening, it is not necessary to have a lavish feast, although this is not forbidden.
In many countries, the christening holiday is equal in scope to a wedding: they spend a lot of money on preparations, lay the tables with a lot of dishes, and invite a large number of people. For example, many Orthodox Christians in Greece and Georgia or Catholics in Italy and France celebrate christenings. First of all, you need to decide on the date of baptism and visit the church at least a week before the planned day, announcing your intention to baptize the child. It is advisable to get acquainted in advance with the priest who will perform the Baptism ceremony. The church will tell you what you will need for the christening, and you will immediately decide on the list of necessary purchases. It is immediately necessary to clarify whether it is possible to photograph and videotape the ceremony and how many relatives and friends can be invited to the church.

It is better to invite guests, if they are not only your closest relatives and friends, in advance - just like for a wedding, 2-3 weeks in advance. It is preferable to send real invitation cards in envelopes. Invitations must indicate where guests should come - to the church or to the place of celebration. And, of course, you need to inform the date, time and, if necessary, the dress code. All over the world it is customary to invite as many children as possible to christenings. Children are the main decoration of the christening holiday.

The christening celebration can be held in different places: at home, in a restaurant, in a summer cafe. In the warm season, it is worth organizing a celebration in the form of a picnic or feast in the fresh air.

What to give for a girl's christening according to signs

Ideally – icons, spiritual books and films. While the girl is little, she will not appreciate books, but later they will come in handy. Also traditional gifts are silver jewelry, spoons, and rattles.

This is from the godparents. Guests can give toys and beautiful clothes. It is a good sign if the gift doll is in the form of a child, and not an adult woman. The child does not like dolls - the signs do not object to toy books, paints and construction kits for girls; development is always a good foundation for a happy life.

A memorable gift - a set of elegant scarves and hats.

Christening competitions for guests

When deciding how to celebrate the christening of a boy or girl, remember that an entertainment program is an important factor in an interesting evening. If you are planning a christening celebration for a girl or boy in a restaurant or cafe, we recommend that you contact the host. Having such a person will allow you to relax and enjoy the company of friends and family without any problems.

• Quiz competition. Ask everyone present questions about the baby. Weight, height, foot length in mm and other tricky questions, including time and date of birth. Let everyone scratch their heads :).
• Game "Determine the weight." Anyone can weigh a child in their arms and try to guess the most accurate weight of the baby.

Christening menu: what to cook

Another important factor is the table for the child's baptism. Depending on what type of holiday you want - standard gatherings, a summer barbecue outdoors, a buffet or a tea party - you must determine for yourself the most delicious and satisfying menu.

We recommend paying attention to such neutral foods as chicken and salads, cold appetizers and juicy fish. Of course, you can create a festive table for your child’s baptism using our recipes.

We have also prepared a sample menu for you:

• A dish with cold cuts and vegetables - boiled pork, tongue, chicken rolls, sausage, laid out with sweet peppers and cucumbers
• a fish dish
• fruit plate
• Marinated mushrooms
• Other marinades to taste (for example, Korean cuisine)
• Cheese slices
• 3-4 types of salads
• The main course is potatoes with chops (cutlets, steaks, beefsteaks, hams) or fish.
• Cold drinks.
• Tea, coffee, dessert.

It is worth remembering that the christening table directly depends on the format of the party and the number of guests. If you are planning a celebration of a child's christening in a small circle, perhaps you will be satisfied with the tea format of the holiday with several types of desserts and homemade pastries.

Decorating the christening table is up to you. You can use small flags and garlands, signs for products, and also decorate the surface of tables with small compositions on a children's theme.

Blue or pink pinwheels look very stylish.

You can also decorate the table for your child’s baptism with interesting details related to childhood.

When thinking about how to decorate the table for a christening, do not forget about beautiful, themed food - sweets or cake.
