Christening Invitations Can Highlight a Child’s Name
A special event like a baptism or christening calls for a one-of-a-kind invitation. Turn to web sites specializing in custom invitations to help you create christening invitations with a special touch.
Christenings are often called naming ceremonies. We all know how much care you put into choosing your child’s name. The invitations for the christening can celebrate that special name you’ve chosen just for him or her.
Give the invitations a custom touch by explaining the meaning of your child’s name. Several web sites list the meanings and origins of names. An invitation company can use this information to create a party invitation for your baby’s christening.
Give the Christening Celebration Even More Meaning
Play off the meaning of your baby’s name not just for the invitations but also for the christening celebration itself. Here are just three examples of how to use your child’s name to customize a christening celebration:
- Latifah is an African name meaning joy. Use joy as the party theme. Create invitations that say, “Share in our joy as we christen Latifah…” Use pictures on the invitations that depict joy. Find quotes or verses about joy that can be read during the christening. Use the word “Joy” itself on the party decorations or the christening cake.
- Chase is an old French name that means hunter. When it’s time to christen Chase, use a hunting motif for the invitations. The invitations can have a very rustic, outdoor feel or the look or an English foxhunt. On the christening invitation, describe different things you hope Chase will hunt for and find during his lifetime: wisdom, knowledge, laughter and love.
- Jonathan comes from a Hebrew word that means gift of God. Use gifts as the theme for the invitations. Design the invitation like a present that can be opened. Have the text read, “Help us christen our precious gift from God.” Make a cake in the shape of a wrapped gift box to serve after the christening ceremony.
