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!!

Re: Those who have already done their baby's baptism come in!!!
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.
Angel frames with his picture... you can see the pic on www.butterflywishesllc.blogspot.com.
I got the frames online.
we had a couple for madys baptism (they were all donated to us by dayreen's mom)
little tiny rose jewelry boxes with a tiny rosary in each one
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
