How do you send baptism invitations online?

Choose a baptism design and customize the wording, colors, fonts, and envelope liner. Add the ceremony details, then build your guest list by importing a spreadsheet, pulling contacts from your email, or entering names by hand. Turn on RSVP tracking and add any custom questions you need. Send a test to yourself, then send by email or text message (in supported countries) and follow responses on your dashboard.

How far in advance should you send baptism invitations?

Send three to four weeks ahead for a ceremony where most guests live nearby. Give six to eight weeks when godparents, grandparents, or other family need to book travel, since a late invitation is the most common reason relatives cannot make the date. A save the date sent earlier holds the day while you finalize the church time and the reception.

How do I handle the ceremony and the reception on one invitation?

Put the ceremony details on the card and use custom questions to ask who is also staying for the reception or luncheon, plus meal choices and high chair needs. You will get a separate headcount for each part of the day on the same guest list. If only some guests are invited to the reception, send a second mailing to that shorter list.

Can I use a photo of my child on the baptism invitation?

Yes. You can add your own photos to a designer template, or upload a finished card of your own as a .jpg, .png, or PDF. Either way it arrives inside the animated envelope with the same RSVP tracking and guest list tools, so a design from a family member or a photographer still works with everything else.
