Stress-free Planning of Your Baby's Baptism

Posted: Jul 30, 2010 |Comments: 0 |

That's right!  You can prepare for your newborn's Baptism or Christening without subjecting yourself to a heap of stress by meticulously planning ahead.  Getting the services of a party planner is a popular choice for a stress-free planning but if you want to make the event more personal, you can just do it by yourself.

Pin the Date and Venue

You would surely want your closest family members and friends to attend this very important milestone in your child's life.   Schedule months ahead the date of Baptism and check immediately with the church for the availability. 
 
It depends on the number of guests you have in mind but you may want to look for a party venue that is close to the church. Or you can consider to have the gathering in your home if you have some space or at your community clubhouse.  Mark your calendar and start your planning assignments.

Sending out invitations

Once you've set a date and venue, start calling up your family and friends to inform them of the ceremony and the party.  You can send out formal printed invitations or create them yourself.  You can also send invitations with cute graphic designs and send them via email to your guests who reside in farther places.  Make sure you put all the information of the Christening – the date, time and venue.  Also include your contact details.  It is a common practice nowadays to put an RSVP to help you prepare more efficiently.

Food for the guests

The kind of food you'll serve will depend on the time of your child's party – lunch, afternoon tea or dinner.  You can contact a local caterer who can give you great menu options.  You can also prepare the food with the help of your family and friends.  Don't forget to prepare or order a simple cake with, preferably, white icing.

Gifts and Tokens

Everyone wants to make someone smile with a personalised gift and your guests will surely share something with your little angel as they are baptized. Include a table or box in your party setting.  Also prepare Thank You cards that you can send out after the party.  Your child's baptism is a start of a new chapter in his or her life and you may want to prepare your own personalized Christening gift which they can keep forever.

Capture each moment

Include in your planning the video and photo documentation of this momentous event.  Whether you decide to hire professionals or assign your family and friends to take charge, make sure to take lots of photograph during the ceremony and the party.  These are memories you'd want to treasure.
