Great Keepsake Ideas for a Christening or
Baptism
|
|

A baby’s christening or baptism is a very special
occasion. It is the very first step in their spiritual life so there should
be as many keepsakes of the day as possible. Since the baby won’t have any
first-hand memories of this special day, it’s up to the parents, godparents
and family members to create lasting memories for them.
There are always the popular items that make treasured keepsakes, but there
are many other ideas that might get overlooked. For instance, are the
invitations just for inviting guests to the celebration and providing all
the important details? That is their main purpose, but saving just one of
them to be framed or placed in a memory album/scrapbook will create a
lasting souvenir of the occasion.
Here is a list of some more obvious and not-so-obvious items that make
great baptism or christening keepsakes creating lifetime memories for the
baby.
• Gown or Outfit – Choosing heirloom quality fabric and taking the proper
storage measures will help preserve the gown or outfit for future
generations or just for a lasting remembrance.
• Accessories such as shoes, socks, bib, blanket, bonnet, towel, headband,
boutonniere - They all add an extra special touch to the gown or outfit and
make great mementos.
• Favors – These are perfect for showing appreciation to guests and giving
them a take-home token. Many types of favors can be personalized.
• Certificate – This is a great way to create a written record of the
baptism or christening that can be framed and displayed.
• Bracelet – What could be more precious and beautiful than a baby bracelet
adorning the infant on her special day?
• Personalized Gifts – These are normally items designed specifically for a
christening or baptism such as a photo album, photo frame, Bible, cross
plaque, doll, prayer bear, or candle. They are extra special because of the
personalization.
• Share of Stock with Framed Certificate – This is a gift that will educate
and grow with the child throughout their life and the personalized frame
will commemorate the date of their baptism or christening.
Godparents, in particular, should really consider giving their godchild a
keepsake gift since part of their responsibility is to help the child grow
in their spirituality. Since their baptism or christening is the beginning
of their spiritual life, it should always be remembered. There are special
godchild, goddaughter, and godson gifts available that can be personalized
with the baby’s name and the date.
Keepsakes are a wonderful way to honor the memory of a baby’s christening
or baptism through the years as they grow, both physically and
spiritually.
