How to Hand Make Christening Invitations
Christening is a form of baptisms practiced by many Christian churches. It is used to present a baby to Christ and the Christian faith. You can make your own Christening invitations if you cannot find any you like, or if you just need to stay on a budget. The most important information you need on a Christening invitation is the details, such as the time of the Christening and the location.
- Thank about what design you would like for your Christening invitations. You have many options in sizes, such as choosing one single page, or using a card with a fold. You can purchase these materials at any craft supply store.
- Make a practice invitation writing down what you want on the card, including the time, date, location and RSVP contact information. Include all of the information a person would need to know. You can also add your own personal touch to the invitation, including your favorite scripture, for example.
- Decide if you are going to print the text on a printer, or you can hire a calligrapher. If you are making the invitations on your computer, open the software program you are using, and create the invitation. Select the font and size o f your text. Use card stock paper for the invitations when you print them out on your printer.
- Decorate the Christening invitations using stickers, scrapbook pieces, or colored cutouts. You can find many Christian-themed ideas at a craft shop. You can also look through magazines for ideas you can use for your invitations. The options are endless since you are making them yourself.
- Put the invitations into addressed envelopes and mail them out.
