Thursday, March 4th, 2010

Section-Baptism-SquareAre you planning a spring-time baptism or christening for your little bundle of joy? This season is the perfect time of year to celebrate important milestones like these. With easy access to fresh, bright flowers and classy decorations, you can create a sophisticated event that will fit any budget and be fondly remembered by everyone who attends.

A baptism or christening is an exciting and joyful event for everyone involved. Start the celebration out right with personalized invitations. Baptism and christening invitations are available in pink, blue, or in more neutral colors like black and white. Depending on the theme of the event, you can select from sophisticated designs featuring illustrations of the cross, or more playful designs depicting an Angel Baby. For your convenience, select matching thank you notes at the time that you order the invitations to make post-party thank you’s easy.

Decorating for a baptism or christening is easy when you have high quality products that are both creative and attractive. For the best look, try going with a theme to set the tone of the room. You can choose to go playful and fun, featuring bright, child-friendly colors and plush stuffed animals, or more sophisticated, with subdued tones and dignified crosses that relay the importance of the occasion.

For a spring time event, try adorning your tables with freshly cut flowers in festive vases. Place settings and tablecloths can be included for both sit down meals or buffet set ups, allowing your guests to easily find a place to relax and enjoy the party. Tea lights floating in a glass bowl or a small votive holder can add a beautiful glow to each table, just be sure to keep little hands away from them!

InvitesDo-it-yourselfers will find great joy in creating their own baptism or christening favors. Try filling small, clear jars with delicious buttermints or fun pacifier-shaped candies to hand out to your guests as they leave. Simply add candy, tie a satin ribbon around the top, and adorn it with a personalized label that memorializes the special day. Gifts like these make wonderful keepsakes for your guests long after the candy is gone.

When planning a baptism or christening, the most important thing to remember is to make it an event that is as special as the baby that you are planning it for. Adding special touches like personalized decorations and special favors for your guests will make the day one that you and your friends and family will never forget.

While your baby may not remember what an important day their baptism or christening was, your memories will last a lifetime. Make those the best memories possible by putting thought and care into your party planning.
