Baptism and Christening Cards
One of the key moments in any Christian parent's life is the christening or baptism of their baby, the child's introduction to the Church and the world. Baptism is a spiritual birth that reflects the baby's physical one, and introduces her to the religious life; the christening is the baby's official "coming out," and the announcement of her name. One thing a good baptism and christening always includes is godparents -- one or more individuals willing to sponsor the child's baptism.
Hand made cards - memories that last a lifetime
Naturally, you'll invite only your closest friends and family to your baby's big event. Make sure, then, that you choose an invitation that's both striking and memorable, and send out your baptism or christening cards at least a month beforehand. Ordering personalized cards for this special occasion is a wonderful way to announce your new child to the world. Dress up the envelope with baby venue stickers and this would be the perfect time to use those cute printed return address labels. You can even purchase personalized address labels with the baby's picture on them - now there's a unique idea!
What It Means to Be a Godparent
Officially, a godparent is a child's "religious trainer", but in practice they're much more. Being a godmother or godfather means a willingness to sponsor that child spiritually, to pray for them, set a Christian example, encourage the child to follow the Church's teachings, and prepare them for confirmation. Some parents even make prior arrangements with a child's godparents that in the event anything should happen to the parents - the godparents agree to help raise the child. A good godparent always remembers the important events in a godchild's life, like school plays, birthdays, graduations, and Christmas. Ordering beautiful hand made cards throughout this special child's life and dressing up the envelopes with festive holiday address labels and stickers will ensure they have a beautiful and meaningful keepsake for years to come.
