Are you getting ready to get your child baptized? Congratulations! I’m sure you’re also throwing a Baptism celebration. Don’t be concerned. Take a pen and paper and note down some simple suggestions for hosting a baptism celebration.
Remember that the purpose of the reception is to bring your family and friends together to celebrate your newly baptized kid for a memorable day for you and your guests. You may make the party as simple or as sophisticated as you want it to be.
Baptism Party Ideas
It’s a joy to have your child christened or baptized. It’s the season to gather family and friends for a celebration and to share the joy.
From dessert and food ideas, to DIY cross centerpieces and personalized favors, you’ll find a range of baptism party ideas that your guests—and camera—will love. Once you start planning your theme, color and party design, don’t forget to choose an adorable newborn photo of your little one to add to your baptism party invitations. Prepare to be awe-struck!
Food and Drink Ideas
You may be accustomed to doing everything alone, but believe me when I say that as a mother who has been through this, I understand that you cannot do it all.
The day of the baptism will be hectic and frantic. The more assistance you receive, the better.
Depending on your budget, hiring a caterer or eating at a restaurant may be a better option. (That’s one of my favorites!)
You might even cook dinner ahead of time if your budget is tight.
Sandwiches and salads are simple to prepare, or if you want to give a hot dinner, try lasagna or a casserole that can be prepared while you are at church.
When they return from the baptism, not only will they be hungry, but they will be thirsty as well. Keep a variety of drinks in your refrigerator.
Make sure you have a specific beverage on the party menu if you know your guests like it.
Depending on the formality of your event, you may want to keep beverages in a cooler or on ice in a nice container so that attendees may assist themselves.
Party Cake Ideas
Host a baptism party with a garden theme and natural-looking accents throughout the decor. To keep things fresh and clean, go with a basic white tablecloth and cake, and add bits of greenery to make your theme pop.
Use soft pastel colors throughout the decor if you want to organize a whimsical-themed baptism party for your little girl. This lovely cake is adorned with delicate pastel pink flowers that complement the theme and contrast beautifully with the white frosting.
Party Favor Ideas
Custom stickers can be added to any favor to instantly relate it to a baptism celebration theme. These little jars are engraved with the baby’s name and baptism date, making them a sweet way to give your visitors a memorable keepsake.
Alternatively, fill mason jars with your favorite baptism quotation or message, such as “Child of God,” to make amusing favors for your guests!
Party Decorations
Use antique items within your decor for a rustic feel. This globe and treasure chest adds a nice touch to the favor and gift table.
Burlap Bunting
The addition of burlap bunting to an outdoor baptism celebration is a great touch. To add to the rustic vibe, pair it with matching burlap baptism party goodies!
Table Setting
Write the names of your child guests on a kraft paper table runner for a charming element to the kids’ table at your baptism party. You can also offer them markers so they can draw on the paper tablecloth themselves to keep them occupied.
Cross-Shaped Photo Gallery
Get creative with a cross-shaped photo display at your baptism party. Choose a variety of your favorite pictures of your little one and display them in a central location at the party. To create more of a nostalgic look, print the pictures in black and white.
Noah’s Ark Centerpiece
The story of Noah’s Ark is a wonderful topic for a baptism reception. Make amusing centerpieces with an ark full of animals. Just make sure the centerpiece isn’t too big that your guests can’t see across the table.
Frame
At your baptism party, frame cute quotes and hang them about the room. This framed phrase with fresh flowers, “You Are My Sunshine,” brings brightness and color to the environment.
Cross Tree Centerpiece
Suspend white crosses from decorative branches to create a simple yet lovely centerpiece. Your guests will admire the creativity and will love that they can still see the other guests across the table.
Backdrops
Simple things can be used to create a stunning backdrop! Use fluffy material for the white clouds, sheer white fabric for the letters, and white poster board for the letters to create this heaven-sent scene.
Party Invitations
Baptisms and Christenings are special occasions to share with loved ones. Invite them with an unique invitation that you can modify with your own wording, fonts, and colors.
