Wording for Christening Invitations

We've written out some Christening invitation templates to help you better plan your little one's special day. Below you'll find a list of sample texts, feel free to pick and choose different parts that you like of each wording idea to create something much more original! Each text can be adapted to suit a Christening, Baptism, Naming Day or Thanksgiving ceremony. And don’t forget to add RSVP details somewhere on the invite. Invite your guests to the main event at the Church, but also for some light refreshments at your home, the church hall or even the local pub!

Invite quotes, poems & bible verses:

Through baptism we are graced with god’s counsel and love
he cleanses our sins
and
we emerge as his children

…………………………………

“Let the children come to me…
for to such belongs the kingdom of God.”
Luke 18:16

…………………………………

Perfect for twins:
God called them all, two by two they came
And now our boys/girls/twins are doing the same

…………………………………

“May the Lord give His angels
charge over you, to guide you
in all your ways.”
Psalm 91:11

…………………………………

First came love. Then came marriage.
Then came (name) In a baby carriage.
Now’s the time to make it all complete.
And to hold the Christening of this child so sweet.

…………………………………

“…One Lord, one faith, one baptism.”
Ephesians 4:5

…………………………………

Ideal for a Naming Ceremony:
I am so very special
I have been from the start
Before they held me in their arms
My family held me in their hearts
And like a single drop of rain
That on still waters fall
My life and love will ripples make
And touch the lives of all
So read this precious story
As step by step I grow
I am a special blessing and a gift
As each page here will show.

…………………………………

Perfectly adapted to a Thanksgiving ceremony:
A small child
So precious and sweet,
Has come into your lives
To make them complete.
Today is so special
In every which way

And afterwards...
