Sheep Baby Nursery Blanket

You can find teddies with letter embroidery, which you can choose appropriately for the name of the child being baptized. This is a way of gifting something smaller, with a special touch for the family. 

It will always be etiquette to bring a card to the celebration, even if you do not bring a gift. You will give the card and the gift to the family after the ceremony, at the reception party held by the family. There will usually be a table set up for you to place your gift on at the reception. 

If cash is not an option for you, then a small silver keepsake is sufficient. Plus, do not forget the card. Regardless of your dynamic and level of closeness to the family, a card is always necessary. 

During a child baptism, the child is welcomed into the congregation community. Many choose to baptize their children, whether they are believers themselves or not. Instead, they celebrate the child’s name and a welcome to the world. According to tradition, baptism is followed by a party and baptismal gifts to the newborn. 

Baptism gifts also differ from other offerings in that a baptism gift does not need to be thought about what the recipient has for taste. A small child has not been able to develop any taste when it comes to style or decor. You need to think about the parents’ taste and what the parents of the child prefer. If the parents want you to buy pink christening gifts for their girl or light blue gifts for their boy, do it!

In addition to this page with Christening gifts, I have also written about Christening gifts for boys and Christening gifts for girls.

Bad baptism gifts

When choosing a gift of baptism, you need to think about whether or not you should buy something with religious significance. Baptism gifts often have spiritual messages. How religious are the child’s parents? Many choose to Christen their children by tradition rather than by faith. Should it be so with the child you are going to buy Christening presents to avoid purchasing a gift with religious signs? Unfortunately, it will only be tucked away in a cupboard if you buy the wrong baptism gift.

If the family is not traditional in their values here, then across will not be necessary. This is where you can gift something else that is silver, such as a special bracelet or a silver photo frame with a picture of the entire family inside. You will want to ensure this gift is special and linked to the event of baptism. For example, you will not want to give the family something that could be given as a birthday present. 

A gift of baptism should also not be funny in any way. A baptism gift should not be made fun of but must be serious.

Baptism cards and gift wrapping

A baptism card should also accompany a gift of baptism. Just as you should imagine when choosing baptismal presents, you also need to think about color when choosing baptism cards. If you are looking for last minute baptism gift ideas, a card with money in it also is a great gift idea.

What is an appropriate baptism gift?

What to buy a baby for Christening? As mentioned above, it is common to give gifts for baptism. This is your way, as a guest, of marking the occasion and showing you recognize the event as special. Furthermore, as baptisms are usually held for young children, giving something that they can keep for a long time holds something truly special. 

Depending on your relationship with the family, you will need to be mindful of what level you need to hit with the gift. For example, if this is a niece/nephew or godchild, you will want your gift to reflect your close relationship. However, if this is someone more distant from you, such as a college friend’s child, you will not be expected to break the bank. 

If it is last minute baptism gift ideas you are looking for, then I might suggest you choose gifts without any customization, because that will take extra time.

Christening vs Baptism what is the difference

Baptism is certainly a milestone to celebrate. After all, it only comes once in a lifetime. In Christianity, newborns are baptized to welcome them into the faith. Although the terms “Christening” and “baptism” tend to be used interchangeably, they are two separate acts that are incorporated into one ceremony of welcoming a person into the Body of Christ. Christening is when a baby is officially welcomed and named into the Christian Church. On the other hand, Baptism is a Christian ceremony where a few drops of water are sprinkled on somebody and is really a sign that you belong to Jesus. Ideally, Baptism can be done at any age whereas Christening is traditionally for young children and babies.
