What to Write on a Baptism Invite

Crafting the right wording for your baptism invitation doesn't have to feel overwhelming. A great invitation for baptisms typically includes the child's name, the date and time of the ceremony, the location (including the name of the church), and any reception details if you're hosting a gathering afterward. You might also want to add a meaningful quote, Bible verse, or a simple line like “Please join us in celebrating [Child’s Name]’s baptism.” With Shutterfly’s easy customization tools, you can make sure your message feels just right for the occasion.

Frequently Asked Questions

How far in advance do you send baptism invitations?
It’s best to send your baptism invitations about four to six weeks before the ceremony. This gives guests enough time to plan and RSVP, especially if they’ll need to travel.

Who should be invited to a baptism?
Typically, close family members, godparents, and close friends are invited to a baptism. Depending on the size of your celebration, you may also include extended family or members of your faith community.

What's the difference between a baptism and a christening?
The terms "baptism" and "christening" are often used interchangeably, but in some traditions, a christening refers specifically to the naming part of the ceremony, while baptism focuses on the religious sacrament. Both are meaningful ceremonies celebrating a child's spiritual journey.

Along with baptism invites, Shutterfly offers even more custom baby cards for your family.
