Those who have already done their baby's baptism come in!!!

Hi girls, I'm trying to figure out what to give as the recordatorios for my son's baptism. I don't know whether to go with the old-school little folded card or like a bookmark or what. Please help me out! What did you give out and where did you get them. Thanks!!

    My SIL did a bookmark and a wallet sized picture. I think my MIL made those chocolate lollipops too. HTH

    I didn't do anything. We had a luncheon after the fact and thought that was a suitable "thank you" to our friends and family for coming.

    My cousin gave little rosaries as a recordatorio and I thought it was an awesome idea. I believe she bought them online in bulk. They were scented ones, made out of wood or some sort of cork. not real stones so it was cheaper. I have mine hanging in my car still.

    I just put Nadia's Baptism pics on facebook. I had little mint tins as favors and my sister made cookies that I also used to decorate the tables. You can see pics of both on fb.

    For Gaby we gave little tiny rosary's and for Alejandro I didn't give anything. I have come to the point where I know no one (myself included) don't keep favors so instead of tossing away money I just do something that you can eat or nothing at all.

    a glass soap dish with a homemade rose soap and gold cross on top of the dish

    favor box with almonds in each one and closed with a rose and a wallet size pic of mady's baptism

    a friend of mine also did chocolate crosses to lay out on the tables

    we gave out the traditional recordatorios that had the godparent's names and where she was baptized.  my grandmother wanted to gift this to us, so it's why we did it over a bookmark!

    i also made little pink chocolate butterflies and put them in little plastic bags with pink ribbons and made tags on my computer that said "abby's baptism" and the date

    Oh, and Jackie, we got ours done at Nunez Printing- it's on Flagler and 67th.  Ada Nunez is the owner and she's really sweet and accomodating.  It wasn't too expensive, either (kvwerne got hers done there, as well, i think.)

    We actually held Eli's baptism with his first birthday.  We gave decorated baby jars filled with M&Ms and sent Thank you photo cards afterwards.
