Christenings and baptisms
The church service and the celebration afterwards, each with its own time and address, on one invitation. Family and friends reply in two taps, and you know how many adults and children to seat at lunch.
Designed for your occasion · $49 per event · up to 150 guests · you see it before you pay
The service and the celebration are two parts of the day, each with its own time and its own map. Nobody drives to the wrong place.
The godparents' names sit on the invitation, the way families expect to see them, with the child's full name.
Christenings bring a lot of small cousins. Every reply counts adults and children separately, so the restaurant gets both numbers.
Draw the room, add the tables and seat the families who said yes. Grandparents at the top table, kids together.
Change the names, dates and places and it is ready. When we make your invitation, you write the text or we put it together with you. More in our guide to christening and baptism invitation wording.
With joy, we invite you to the christening of our son,
Oliver James Bennett.

Send christening and baptism invitations three to four weeks before the day, and six weeks ahead if family has to travel. Ask for replies ten days before, so the restaurant has a number and the church knows roughly how many to expect.
From your first message to a finished invitation is usually a few days.

Christening is the word mostly used in Catholic and Anglican families and includes naming the child; baptism is the broader term used across churches. The invitation is the same: the child's name, the church, the date and time, the celebration afterwards and the reply deadline.
It is customary but optional. If you name them, put them after the date and place: "Godparents: Laura Bennett and Michael Ross."
Yes. The day is shown in parts, each with its own time and its own address with a map, so guests find both places.
Yes. The design is made for your occasion, so a photo of the baby can be part of it. Send it with your inquiry.
