Christening is the first step of child into his or her religious faith. During Christening, the parents make declarations and the baby is baptized with holy water. Then a candle is lit, which represents Jesus, denoting him as the light of the world.
Most christening party ideas are relatively simple. Of course, as with any celebration or party, it can be as simple or elaborate and as small or large as you and your budget can handle.
Some people go all out their child’s christening celebration and have live music, catered food, organized games for guests’ children and elaborate seating and décor.
Another baptism party idea is the backyard BBQ. This is a more simple party, located outdoors, with an easy menu of grilled meats and vegetables, with sides of salads. For dessert, the christening cake with white frosting and decorated with the baby’s name and the date of the christening or baptism. A specially designed christening cake will complete your celebration. It can be as fancy or as simple as you like. Shapes that would make a great christening or baptismal cake design would be a cross or an open book to represent the Bible.
Another very valid idea that you can implement in your Christening Party is to give your guests favors, which will make them remember of their. You can make a certificate, which will serve as a written record of baptism. If your budget allows you, you can buy your child a bracelet. At Christening party, Godparents can give a keepsake to their Godchild as it will be a wonderful memory for the child. Lastly, you can make a movie and take photographs so that your child enjoys watching as they grow old.
