| If you're like most parents who are planning their child's christening, you will want everything to be perfect, down to the very last detail. One of those details is deciding on just the right baptism favors to give your guests. There are some elements that you need to include to make these little giveaways extra special.
Christening giveaways should be spiritual. Although these mementos are usually given at the party after the ceremony, they still are a reminder of the religious event. So, look for favors that portray Christian symbols like a cross, Bible, dove, Noah's ark, rainbows or angels. A quote of Scripture from the Bible can also be a nice addition. |
If you want to give your guests a keepsake, make sure it's practical. Knick knacks that just sit around collecting dust can be very appealing at first, but often end up stored away in a box or drawer with other souvenirs. If you want your baby's baptism favors to be something your family and friends will hold on to, give them something they can use. Look for fun, but functional items.
Don't settle for ordinary, when you can buy something unique. Take a little time to search online and you'll find there are a lot of vendors with a wide variety of christening favors to offer. For example, you might be thinking about going with candy wrappers that have a baptismal design over some standard candy bars.
Personalized baptism favors are meant to be treasured. Sure, you could go to the dollar store and get fifty porcelain angels for this event. But if you want your guests to cherish their mementos, then personalization is the way to go. Look for items that can be inscribed with your baby's name and the date he or she was baptized.
Make sure you do some major searching, and then when you find a potential item, think about if it has a spiritual element, if it is practical, unique, and useful, and if it be personalized with your baby's name, date, message and photo. If you are able to find something that matches all these criteria, then you're on your way to giving your family and friends christening favors they are sure to cherish!
