Baptism help

I am having our baby girls baptism in 2 weeks and I am not sure of a sign in book? I just went to a baptism and they used a bible to sign in but I can't copy... Any suggestions?  Thanks in advance

  • Congratulations (in advance!) & don't worry, you can post pictures anytime! Us July 2012 Mommies LOVE pictures!

    As for suggestions, when DH & I were married, I came up with this idea I called "Wedding Wishes". I created these 'cards' (like post cards, kind of) that had our Wedding motif on it & in a small frame, had a sign that read: "Share your warm wishes for the bride & groom!" & then they wrote words of wisdom & placed the cards in this hurricane glass that I had added crystals/ colored stones to & a battery operated candle beneath them to illuminate it & make it sparkle. 

    Maybe you can have something like that, but instead of having a Wedding theme, have it be a white dove or a cross or something. Maybe have favorite Bible quotes or Psalms or maybe even hymns? Be sure to place at least 2 Bibles & 1 Hymnal beside the cards so multiple people could be filling out cards. You can add a small sign to place by the Bibles that says: "For inspiration..." or something along those lines.

    I don't know how many guests will be attending, but in the event that there are, say, 30, make sure you have lots of extra cards. (& pens!) You never know- people make mistakes on their cards & need a new one or they want to make multiple ones. Be sure to have a place on the card for them to write their names, too!

    [HTH]

  • My baby book has a bunch of blank pages at the back.  What about using something like that? If its going to be a keepsake anyways, that seems like a convenient place to have it.

  • I didn't have that and I've never been to a baptism where there was a sign in.  But if you'd like to do something similar, it's up to you.

  • Are you having the baptism during a church service? Either way I say go for a sign in book.

  • Thank you for the great idea!  I think I may just go with my favorite childhood book and have very one sign it!  Hanks again
