Baptism

A baptism is a joyous occasion.

A baptism provides a wonderful opportunity to celebrate your child’s birth in front of your friends and family. At LoveToKnow Baby, we’re here to help you plan this special celebration.

Typically, the first step in planning your baby’s baptism is to find a suitable outfit for him/her to wear. Traditional baptism gowns are white, flowing garments accented with lace, pearls, and ribbons that can be purchased from specialty shops or online retailers.

To invite guests to your child’s baptism, you’ll want to send out formal invitations. Fortunately, there are baby baptism invitations available to suit almost every taste. You can even find Spanish baptism invitations and free baptism invitations.

Although it’s not mandatory, many parents choose to have a small reception after their child’s baptism. A light lunch or punch and sandwiches is often served, followed by a beautifully decorated baptism cake. Special baptism favors, such as small candles or chocolates, may also be given to guests.

Since a baby’s baptism is such as momentous occasion, there are a number of commemorative keepsakes available. Picture frames, photo albums, shadow boxes, music boxes, crosses, and rosary sets are common baptism gifts. Little girls may also receive a special bracelet or necklace in honor of the baptism.
