Printed Business Cards

Is there a right way to choose an invitation for a baptism? The answer is yes–but it all really hinges on what type of mood you would like to set, as well as what the festivities will entail. There are some things you can think through on the front end that will help you pick the invitation that best suits this kind of special occasion.

First of all you will want to think about the kind of mood that you would like to convey. If you feel very strongly about the religious significance of the event, you may want to opt for designs that feature a cross or a verse of scripture. If this isn’t really your style, you might decide to go with a simple pattern instead. Either way, choosing these small details can help you set the tone for the rest of the invitation. You can also pick between a wide card and a tall one, depending on your preference.

Will this be a combination baptism and party afterward? This factor will influence the layout of the invitation. A baptism alone means that you will only need to include the information about where the service will be held. If you are having a party afterwards, you will need to have that address listed as well, along with the time for both events.

Another thing to decide is whether you will request a response if the person will be attending. This is not usually that crucial when it comes to church services, but it may be important if you are having a party catered. An RSVP will require either a telephone number or an e-mail address, and you may want to consider including both, for the sake of convenience. Adding directions to the back of the invitation can be a great way to use space efficiently without making everything look crowded.

Finally, you will want to get to the details, such as how many invitations you need, what kind of envelopes and stamps you want and how far in advance they should be mailed out. If an RSVP will be required, be sure to leave people ample time to respond.
