Religious Themes for Christening Invitations

A christening is an important and beautiful time for everyone. It’s  not just a time to celebrate the life that has been brought into this world, but also a time to celebrate the religious indoctrination of your beautiful baby into the church you hold so close to your heart. A christening is a time of celebration, joy, laughter, and the honour it holds in bringing a child into your religious organisation.

Religious Symbols

Religious symbols are an important part of the church and religious doctrine. Symbols like the Jesus fish, cross or stained glass windows are just a few of the symbols and insignias that churches use as they prepare and decorate for a christening.

Christening Invitation Colour Schemes

Christening invitations come in a variety of colours, but many of them have particular colour schemes that work well for either a baby boy or girl, a variety of churches and all seasons of the years. Ivories, neutrals, and baby blue or baby pink colour schemes are common colour palettes that work well for your baby’s christening invitations.

Planning a Christening

Planning a christening for your new baby is a fun, but busy time. After you choose the christening invitations with religious themes or otherwise, you’ll need to mail them out four to six weeks before the event. After those are sent out, you can then begin discussing with your family or significant other the menu for the Christening luncheon, party decorations, or post-Christening event that coincides with your religious background and culture. Perhaps you’ll want your decorations to have these religious symbols that were on the invitations; using them on the tables, cake or even for your guests’ christening luncheon favours.

Planning a christening is a fun and memorable time for your closest family, friends and most importantly yourself. Treasure these moments, take photos, and enjoy your child’s christening!

A baby’s christening ceremony is a momentous occasion. This special and memorable occasion should be given the most upmost respect and thought when planning the Christening ceremony.

Cutesy Invitation Inspirations

Creating a cute, adorable christening invitation is simple and easy to make once you have the necessary supplies. You’ll need cardstock or paper that is thick enough for an invitation. This can be purchased at a local store or online. You don’t have to be cheesy to be cutesy, either. Choose fun things like tiny teddy bears, baby animals, or cute little graphics or storybook characters that work well with this time of theme. You don’t have to spend a ton of money to make it “cute”, either! Anything soft and babyish can be turned into cutesy!

Modern Design

The wonderful thing about going more modern with a cutesy theme instead of traditional, boring Christening invitations is the fact that you have many options, style, colours, and designs. After you have chosen a basic colour, template, and design that works well with the Christening and modern flair, choose an elegant yet modern font to go with this as well. Scripted or handwritten fonts are very popular with this style and keep the tone of this event still the formal, respectable event it is. You can emboss or print the information on each invitation in a font colour or even style that is still elegant but has some “fun” curves to each letter. If ordering your invitations online or through a printer, make sure you look at all the options they have for fonts, backgrounds, and layouts. Remember once again that through all of the “cuteness” we’re adding to these Christening invitations, it’s important to keep it respectable and classy as well since this is a religious celebration and event.

The Christening Event

Once you have the invitations picked out, the rest of the Christening planning is easy to follow and fun to work on. Many churches provide an event associate to assist with guiding you on the planning and preparing. A lunch event is usually planned following the Christening as well. This can be a simple brunch or an elaborate meal, and is totally up to you. Just be sure you make the tables and décor as cute as your baby christening invitations we’ve been working on!

These invitation types are affordable, trending, and an adorable alternative to the traditional standard Christening invitations.

Icy Blue and Glitter Christening Invitation Styles

After you’ve had your baby shower and your baby has come into the world, you’ll want to, if you’re religious, to celebrate and commemorate your baby’s arrival with a christening. Planning a Christening is usually done by the parents and the Godparents of the child. Each church is different, so you’ll want to find out how many days from the time the baby is born to the time that you have to set up the Christening, and then set about working on the christening invitations and sending those out to invitees as well.

Choosing a Theme and colour Scheme

So many Christening themes have the same colour scheme and theme attached to them, carbon copied cardstock in the greeting card aisle of the local grocery store. Why not go for something different? Classic colours for a christening are blue, ivory or white. You can use these and go for something like icy blue and glitter for your christening invitation styles or choose a different colour scheme; just keep is tasteful and simple. Icy blue is a trending colour right now and the glitter offers some stylish flair for this important celebration.

Icy Blue Invitation Styles

We love the beautiful shades of blue coming out for all event planning designs this season, and icy blue is definitely among the favourites. You can use this colour scheme for your Christening invitation styles regardless of what time of year the christening ceremony and luncheon is, just use the colour and glitter in different capacities throughout each season. If you have a winter christening, you can use the icy blue and glitter for a more wintery themed christening. Spring christening ceremonies can use this on a rain drop or cloud themed christening invitation style. Summer Christening? Why not try a bubble design theme in icy blue, with glitter outlining each bubble? An adorable, original idea we love.

Planning a Christening

Planning a christening is an honour and an event that’s an honour as well. Celebrating your religion and bringing your child into it as a part of it is a beautiful tradition to be celebrated and treasured by all who attend. After choosing your icy blue and glitter christening invitations, the additional planning begins. Choosing their Christening outfits, the menu, and music, and the guest list are all a part of the beautiful ceremony a Christening brings.

Congrats on the Christening of your child; may every aspect of planning be a fun and enjoyable part of one of the joys of raising your child.

After picking a date, you’d probably choose the guest list and christening invitations for a lovely gathering.

Some churches have specific guidelines or rules for what’s allowed, and you’ll want to coordinate it with whatever church guidelines or themes you choose you Christen your baby in. This isn’t a “must” by any means, but a good idea to research. After you’ve gotten the details, pick an invite template that best suits the event, the couple planning this event, and how you feel you want your baby and their christening ceremony to be represented.

Christening Invitations with Trendy Patterns

Categories: Uncategorized
Tags:: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Christening invites are a standard template that we are all used to seeing in paper good stores, party stores, and online. With the traditional designs, templates, and layouts, it is a great idea to bring trendy patterns into your christening invites planning.

The Importance of the Invite

Many people do not realise how important it is to have a classy and high quality invitation when planning any sort of event. This is true yet again when choosing your christening invites. This is an important event that represents you the parents, the church you attend and of course the future upbringing of the child. The invitations set the trend and the standard of what sort of event you will have. It is important to pick a design that clues guests in to what sort of christening ceremony you are planning—casual, formal, outside (cookout) style, or perhaps just a church-only ceremony. Make sure to include all-important details on your invitation including if there’s any sort of meal post-ceremony. It is all in the details with your christening invitations.

Design

There are plenty of patterns that can be great options for your trendy invites. A delicate shabby chic floral pattern is a great option for the christening of a baby girl, while the damask pattern can be great for either gender baby as long as the proper colour scheme is chosen. Paisley patterns are another popular trend as we bring back in classic vintage to every avenue of the design industry; these are modern, trendy patterns that break the mould of the traditional, plain christening invitation for your baby’s ceremony.

Theme & Style

As you create your trend christening invite, it is important to examine all facets of the ceremony and party planning you are doing for this event. Think on and inspect all aspects of the christening ceremony— things such as the church, the colours, the gender of the baby being christened, and the location of the event following the christening ceremony. The style of the christening ceremony (elegant, backyard casual, modern, Orthodox, etc) can be taken into consideration when designing your trend christening invite.

Planning a christening ceremony is an important part of being a parent that focuses on religion, and is an important step for your baby’s future. Your family and friends are excited to share in this event with you; make your christening invites a warm, welcoming, trendy invite that gives guests an inside look to the event you are planning. Have fun!

The christening invitation market is a very broad one. There are a lot of options, styles, and themes to consider and sometimes it may be hard to find the right christening invitation for you and your christening event. The general, broad scheme of christening events is elegant, pastel, and classy but still youthful enough to cater to the centre point of this whole event–the baby!

The Special Occasion

A christening is a celebrated event within many different churches and religions. It is a monumental event and can even be comparable to something like a birthday or graduation. This is a beautiful time for family and friends to join together celebrating the baby being brought up in the religion and church that you have decided to bring him or her up in. A lot goes into planning the christening, and it begins with choosing the right christening invitations.

Choosing Your Invites

Christening invitations are the perfect prelude to a memorable day for you and your child. Christening invitations come in a variety of colours and designs, styles and themes. You can choose the number of pictures you want on your baptism invitations, or perhaps you don’t want any photos on the invitations as all. There’s also various paper and photo styles to choose from on the Christening cards: such as rather you want flat cards, 3-folded cards, various types of cardstock, and more.

Christening Invitations

Adding a Personal Touch

Sending out invitations for a christening, maybe a normal part of the planning process for your christening, but it doesn’t mean that your invitations should be ordinary! Each church has various verses, insignias or representations of the baby’s Christening; it represents tradition and the cultural beliefs of each church. You can use though on your invitations or something a bit more casual. Little blue birds, “Christian” fish, or Precious Moments characters are common additions to Christening invites. Utilising photos is also a great personal touch to add to your invitations as you look at various designs searching for the right christening invitation. It gives your guests a chance to see your beautiful baby before they even arrive to the event!

Planning and preparing for your baby’s christening is a fun and exciting time. A lot of planning and preparation goes into this, but it is all worth it in the end! Congratulations on your baby’s christening; it is a beautiful occasion and wonderful event with memories to last forever!

A baby’s christening ceremony is a momentous occasion. This special and memorable occasion should be given the most upmost respect and thought when planning the Christening ceremony. You can instil a touch of modernity when planning events, especially if the new parents would prefer the christening invitations to take after a modern touch.

Modern Paper Products

Creating a modern Christening invitation is simple and easy to make once you have the necessary supplies. You will need cardstock or paper that is thick enough for an invitation. This can be purchased at a local store or online. Choose a modern looking template and style so that you can customise it easily. Choose a crisp colour, such as silver, a baby clue, or an ivory. This makes the added detail easy to choose from and add to. These mentioned colours also work for any time of the year and either gender. Avoid loud and bright coloured papers or templates, as this is a respectable and formal event.

Modern Design

The wonderful thing about choosing a modern style christening invitation is the fact that you have many options, style, colours, and designs. After choosing a basic colour, template, and design that works will with the Christening and modern flair that you desire, choose an elegant yet modern font to go with this as well. Scripted or Handwritten fonts are very popular with this style. You can emboss or print the information on each invitation in a font colour that sticks out and adds an element of modernisation and flair. If ordering your invitations online or through a printer, make sure you look at all the options they have for fonts, backgrounds, and layouts. Remember, you want to keep this simple while also keeping it modern. Simplicity is key, but it is important to keep this classy as it represents the parents of the child and this ceremony.

Theme & Style

If choosing to go down the modern, simple Christening invite route, it is important to avoid the classic and traditional elements of a typical Christening invitation. Elements like baby cribs, lace, or old-fashion crosses are lovely addends to a Christening invitation, but a modern invitation requires modernised elements such as modern basic crosses, a cool and clean colour palette, and co-ed colours and fonts.

Modern, yet simple Christening invitations are easy to design or purchase, it’s just finding the right balance between remaining respectful and appropriate and incorporating a modernised element to these invitations and the party planning.

These invitation types are affordable, trending, and a beautiful alternative to the traditional standard Christening invitations.

Fun Themes for Christening Invites

Categories: Christening Invitations
Tags:: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

A baby’s Christening is an exciting time and momentous occasion for all involved. It celebrates the religious tradition and bond of your baby to the church. It’s a time for family and friends to get together and acknowledge the fact that the child is coming into the church with the parish to celebrate with you and the family. That’s why getting your christening invitations is important. It’s a meaningful event that should not go uncelebrated. It’s important to plan for all aspects of the baptism from start to finish, invitations to cake.

Fun Christening and Baptism Invites

It’s important when ordering invites for this momentous occasion to think of what type of Christening ceremony you wish to have. It’s a great idea to have your baptism or christening invites to have a personal touch such as your child’s photo or a special quote that means the most to the parents of the child or the church. Also, keep in mind that many times when the invitation is sent out to distant friends and family with a photo; it is the first time that they will be meeting the child in person. Give your guests something to be excited for by including something fun and creative, such as a photo, a baby fact sheet, or a short story about the birth of the child.

Fun colours and Designs

Nothing says “baby” or “christening” better than pastels. The christening invite colour palette come in a wide range of colours and shades; including the traditional pastels of blue, pink, and yellow. On a non-photo christening invitation, it’s a great addition to add a religious symbol such as a cross or dove. Another more modern fun design for your christening invites is a “Jesus Fish” or the last name of the child. Make it fun, personal and tailored to your child so that they can look back, reflect through pictures and mementos as to how special and treasured the child is, and will forever be.

Making it Special for your Child

A christening is a treasured occasion so treat it as such; many parents go through the motions as though it is just a standard protocol for any religious family but it should be treasured as something more than that. Personalise every aspect of your baby’s Christening theme from start to finish, beginning with the invites, but also with the cake, the favours, the thank you cards. A common idea is to create a baby book of this event with copies of the fun themed christening invite and programme along with pictures. It will allow your baby to look back and see how cherished and loved he or she is and always was.

Congratulations on your baby’s christening; it is a beautiful occasion and wonderful memory!
