Christening Invitation Wording

The information found on christening invitations is very similar to that of any other invitations and your christening invitation wording will vary based on your style. Standard christening invitations should include the following information:

• Parent’s names

• Child’s name

• Date, time and venue of christening service

• Details of any festivities to follow

• Some families opt to include the godparents’ names

• RSVP information if required

The examples of christening invitation wording below include options in varying styles so that parents can find one that suits their child and the style of the christening. The style of christening invitation wording you choose will depend on the character of your church and the nature of the festivities that will follow your child’s christening service. If your child is being christened in a particularly traditional church, or you are hosting an elegant dinner following the service, then you may prefer to opt for more formal christening invitation wording. Meanwhile, if you church takes a more informal approach to christening celebrations, or you are inviting your friends and family to a relaxed buffet lunch at your house afterwards, then reflect this style by opting for more direct and informal christening invitation wording. You can also choose your wording based on whether you wish the invitations to be addressed from you as parents, or written on behalf of your child.
