Christening or Baptism?

These words are commonly interchanged and thus are making some people confused as to which term to officially use. Both of these terms have existed long enough for people to use it interchangeably and often get their meanings lost or even combined. You may also see photo invitation templates.

Baptism is the ritual use of water for purification. It is one of the seven sacraments in Christianity that admits a person into the Christian community. Also, baptism refers to adults rather than the children. The baptism practices vary from one church to another, such as cases wherein the recipients are fully submerged in water and others where water is poured or sprinkled over the head. The earliest non-biblical forms of baptism existed around 100 AD. Christening, however, existed later in the 14th century. It is defined as the ceremony of baptizing and naming a child (to “christen” means to “give a name to”). You may also see formal invitations.

Baptism can be done at any age where christening is traditionally for babies and children. Christening also involves a naming ceremony while baptism usually doesn’t. With these in mind, we can say that christenings are baptisms while baptisms are not entirely christenings. But, these subtle differences have thinned down in recent times. Churches now name the child during a baptism, which it usually didn’t happen in the past. Times have changed and people are moving on to new methods. It will depend on you on how you want to go with the usage of terms or you can seek advice from your church on how to go with it.

Reasons to create a christening invitation

Christening is an event where your child will be given a name and be welcomed into the Christian world. This is a historical moment for you and your family as you embrace a new angel into your lives. If you want to share this special moment with your close friends and family, then you definitely need to send them a christening invitation. Why send them a christening invitation? You will know as you read on. You may also see elegant invitation templates.

1. They send the message

An invitation doubles for an announcement card. You can use the invitation to formally inform everyone about your new baby, especially if you kept it in secret. This will blindside the recipients as they will be sent with not one, but two exciting news: the welcoming of an angel in the family and the special occasion of formally welcoming him/her to the new world.

2. They set the stage

When we say invitations set the stage, we mean that they lay all the necessary details for the actual christening. In the invitation, include the details about the event, like the location of the church and the venue after the christening; the date that the christening will be held and the time the guests should arrive at; and a dress code, if there is any. You would want to prepare your guests for everything that they need to know so that they don’t come clueless and empty-handed. You may also see invitation designs in PSD.

3. They make the guests feel special

Who doesn’t want to receive an invitation template? Putting yourself in your guests’ shoes, you will feel honored and overwhelmed as an invitation is an indication that you are important to the people who invited you. Also, sending out a customized physical christening invitation feels more personal compared to invitations sent through social media or any online platform. The convenience and efficiency that technology has given us took away the personal connection that we need. When you send out an invitation, the recipients will appreciate your effort to make and send them one.

4. You get to be creative

As a parent, you want to the event to be special. Everything should be perfect and visually pleasing as much as possible. With regards to the invitation, you can go all out in designing it. You can either purchase any template that we have shown you and customize it or use these templates to serve as an inspiration to create one of your own design. The invitation is your introduction to your child’s christening, so make a good impression! You may also like sample photo invitation templates.

5. They create anticipation

As we said, the invitation will serve as the introduction to the event. As such, the recipients will highly anticipate for it once they receive the invitation. Once they receive it, they will most likely make preparations for the event, such as planning on what to wear or what to bring as a gift. They will get excited to not only attend the event but also to see you and your baby, especially those who have not yet seen your little bundle of joy yet.

6. They can serve as a memorabilia

After the christening, the invitation can serve as a beautiful reminder that the guests had attended such as memorable and meaningful event. Some people keep them as a memorabilia that they will treasure for the rest of their lives. They can view it from time to time and reminisce the memories that they created during the event.

How to customize the christening invitations

Customization of the christening invitations depends on their format, whether they are handmade or digital. Most of the templates that we have provided are in digital format, but there are those that are handmade and they need to be shipped. But, even if they are handmade, there are still ways to customize the invitations.

1. Handmade

The customization of handmade invitations will most likely be done by the seller. You can send them details on how you want the invitation to be customized into, like changing the color, shape, and size of the elements. However, in most cases, this kind of request usually requires an additional fee. So just prepare your credit card or wallet for an increase in your budget. Also, you need to have constant communication with the seller and ask for updates on the progress of the customization of the invitation so you will get your ideal results.

2. Digital

Before, editing graphics files require an assistance from a graphic designer. But as technology progresses, there are new and easier ways on how to edit and customize these files by yourself. You just need the determination to create your design as it will be a tedious task. But, if you are still learning how to edit the templates, we will provide you with easy steps to follow.

Start giving out the invitations!

A christening is an important event that you don’t want to make a mess of. Everything has to be perfect and pleasing as what you imagined it to be. In your invitations, make sure that you have found the perfect design that will complement the overall aesthetic of the event. If you have a blue motif, then having a blue christening invitation will most likely be the best option to take. You may also see sample invitation cards.
