baptism announcements/invitations?

britishbride05 · January 2009

Where can I find these? My grandmother wants to buy them for Abby's baptism, she's done it for all 13 greatgrandkids and all us grandkids, but I have no idea where to go to find them. Any ideas? I want them in English, since the baptism will be in English.

Also, do you send out invites for a baptism? We're going to have a little party afterwards at my parent's house (the typical cuban fare lol catered from La Rosa!!) so should the invite be for both the baptism and the gathering afterwards?

The four of us, DH and my sis and BIL (the godparents to be) are taking the baptism class in February and then we'll either schedule the baptism for March 14 or April 11. I'd actually like April 11 since it's the Saturday before Easter, but I think that the church will probably be incredibly booked that day.

You can get invites at any invitation or stationary store. We sent out invites for both kids' baptisms and the wording included the reception afterwards. Ours was -

Michael's has DIY baptism invitations. We did them for Eli's baptism in comes with a tiny cross and ribbon. We had both the information for the Baptism and celebration on the invitation.

- i included rsvp cards as well since i wanted a head count, on top of the scripture i added a gold cross that i found on oriental trading. it was the most simplest, prettiest invitation we have ever done.
