Once you\u2019ve decided you want to baptize your child, contact your church to get the ball rolling. They\u2019ll ask for details like the baby\u2019s name and date of birth, names of parents, and names of godparents or sponsors. When you\u2019ve set a date, it\u2019s time to select baptism invitations.<\/p>\n<p>While a friendly phone call may suffice, sending online invitations is a great way to emphasize the importance of this event for your family. Plus, you can provide all of the details guests need to know. Choose from an array of designs across current <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/popular-baptism-trends-you-wont-want-to-miss\">baptism invitation trends<\/a>, like embellished scripts, letterpress, and die-cut edges.<\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve chosen an invitation design, be sure to familiarize yourself with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thespruce.com\/baptism-and-christening-etiquette-1216447\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">baptism and Christening etiquette<\/a>. For example, if your church has a formal dress code, you may want to include this in the invitation. Be mindful of guests who have never been to your place of worship. They may have questions about customs to observe during the ceremony.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll also want to include basic details like the address of your church and service time. If you\u2019re hosting an after-party, include the time and location of this as well. If your church or venue needs a head count, be sure to include an RSVP date so you can get a final tally.<\/p>\n<p>Now for the fun part! Select an invitation design that is in step with your family\u2019s style. If you\u2019re very religious, consider a cross motif. For those who prefer to emphasize family and community, consider a simple greenery invitation. You can also pick a gender-specific invitation that\u2019s reflective of your bouncing baby boy or girl. These 15 stylish designs are a great start to find what speaks to you.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h.yhuky43obb8t\">Modern Baptism Invitations<\/h2>\n<p>Just because baptism is an ancient sacrament doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t embrace your contemporary style.
