When you’re expecting a baby or just gave birth, it entails baptism and christening parties. So it is important to plan ahead of time and get some ideas on what you can do to make your baby’s party fun and unique.
In planning your baby’s baptism and christening, you have to consider the:
Venue
Baptism and Christening parties normally starts right after church service so you may want to choose a venue close to the church. Depending on your guest list, common choices are your own house or at a neighborhood park. Others opt to hold the baptism on the venue itself (restaurants and function rooms) for convenience purposes.
Food and Beverages
In order to avoid the hassle, you can just order from catering services which already include tables and chairs as well as party decorations. Morning christening can be followed by a buffet lunch and afternoon christening can be followed by a “merienda” buffet. Drinks should also be available to toast your baby’s health. If the weather is fine, a backyard barbecue can be a good alternative. Cakes during baptism and christening usually come in white frosting and the baby’s name and christening date are written.
Entertainment Ideas
Expect to have babies and kids at your baby’s baptism or christening party. You can plan some games for them to play or if you have the budget, hire a host to entertain your guests. You can also make an AVP of the videos and photos of the first few days of your baby to show to your guests.
Souvenirs and Party Favors
There are a wide variety of party favors, gifts and even baby products that you can choose to give as souvenirs to your guests. You can order personalized gifts such as photo magnets, baptism candle tins, mini cupcakes and even custom fortune cookies. The options are endless-you just need to think of souvenirs that suit the theme of your baptism or christening party.
Baptism or christening is an important event in your baby’s life. It’s his welcome party to the Christian world and as a parent; it is your job to make this moment extra special for him. The party doesn’t need to be extravagant or over the top, as matter of fact, it’s more special if you keep it simple and solemn.
