How to Make a Baptism Invitation Card in Apple Pages
The Catechism of the Catholic Church defines Baptism as "the basis of the whole Christian life, the gateway to life in the spirit." It is also the door that gives access to the other sacraments. Baptism comes from the Greek word "baptizien," which means to plunge or immerse. The sacrament of baptism frees us from our original sin and make us member in Christ. The ritual includes the pouring of water into the head of the baptized one. The celebrant utters the words "I baptized you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit" while doing it.
One of the important people to be present in baptism rite is the godparent. They serve as the counterpart of the parent in nurturing the spiritual growth of the child. With this matter, a Baptism Invitation Card must be created as a tool to inform them, as well as your relatives and friends, of the event. Curate one by following the simple steps shown below.
1. Prepare the Event Details
An invitation card is not only a simple piece of printed paper, but it contains essential information about a particular event. You don't want your guests to be absent just because of the wrong venue, or they will be late because of the wrongly stated time. To prevent this, be specific and accurate in stating every piece of information.
2. Show Off Your Creativity
A plain invitation card could be boring and might discourage your guest from participating. On the other hand, curating a creative and alluring one can give the guests the excitement of coming and the anticipation of a wonderful event. Make your work even more presentable through designing it. Use a blue background for a baby boy and a pink background for a baby girl. The typography must be clear and readable for the reader to understand easily.
3. Insert Images and Symbols
You can paste the picture of the celebrant to the sample invitation for the guests to know who the celebrant is. Also, inserting some symbols that associates with baptism, such as candle, dove, cross, water, and baptismal font, can add creativity to your card. Select high-quality images so that they will not look pixelated.
4. Proofread Your Card
You might be overwhelmed by your finished invitation card, but the possibility of errors in grammar and typography is still there. Check for possible mistakes and correct them. It will make your card more accurate and more comprehensive.
5. Print and Give
Now you have arrived in the last and final step of the process, the printing. Print your card using a high-quality paper and ink. Use an envelope to make it look more presentable and clean. You can add embellishments to your cards, such as ribbons and laces. You might as well send a soft copy of your creative invitation card through any social media platforms. But a creative and handy one is worth a keep.
