Before beginning your christening party planning, it's important to keep in mind that christening is a formal religious ceremony. Therefore, you should attempt to achieve a balance between solemnity and happiness. You may wish to include suggestions on attire in the christening invitations. When sending printed christening party invitations, remember that if the christening party is to be held following the christening ceremony, proximity to the church is key.
Besides the church, you can hold the christening party in your home, a neighborhood park, the church hall, a restaurant or an event hall. The number of guests will effect preparations, arrangements and christening party planning. In addition, other children may also be involved, so be sure to consider entertainment options for them. You can set up a television to play a children’s video, craft table or plan some games to hold their attention - at least for a while!
Depending on the time of the christening and the weather, you can arrange a buffet lunch, afternoon tea, low-maintenance spread or backyard barbecue. Consider having drinks on hand to toast the baby’s health and a white cake with white frosting that includes the baby's initials, name and christening date. You should also consider having party favors for the guests as part of your christening party planning. Among the appropriate themes you could choose from include crosses, the color white, doves, angels, candles and Bibles.
To ensure all your invited guests are notified of the christening party well in advance, you should send personalized christening party invitations to those you want to attend the christening ceremony. For those who cannot attend the christening ceremony, the christening party invitations will serve as a keepsake memento. Christening Party Cards should be sent so they are received three to four weeks prior to the christening ceremony so your invited guest will have time to plan their schedules.
