Ideas for Creative Baptism Invitations

Add a creative touch to make baptism invitations a personal memento of a special event.

Invitation cards can communicate so much more than just the facts about the baptism. All invitations, of course, should clearly state the time and place of the baptism ceremony but don’t stop there.

The friends and family that you invite to the baptism may not all be familiar with your faith. Use the invitation to let your guests know what type of dress is appropriate and if the baptism will be private or part of a larger public service.

You might use wording like this on the invitations:

  • "Please join us as Katie Lynn is baptized as part of the regular Sunday Worship Service at First Christian Church."
  • "Celebrate with us as Jacob Livingston is baptized in a small, informal family ceremony."

After you’ve given baptism guests all the details they need, use the invitation to explain a little about the meaning of baptism or include a special baptism prayer or verse you’ve chosen for the occasion. Create a party invitation that doubles as a bookmark. On one side have details about the baptism. On the other, put a picture of the child and a baptism prayer.

The entire invitation can be a picture suitable for framing. Choose a card that has the front cut out to frame a picture. Picture frame cards are available from card and paper companies and places that sell party supplies. They come with decorative frames and are blank inside. Attach a picture of the honoree and use the inside of the card to extend an invitation to the baptism.

Invite your baptism guests to a small reception after the ceremony. Plan simple party food and party decorations. Fresh flowers and a few pastel balloons may be all the decorations you need to complement a baptism cake and coffee.
