Christening Invitations
 
Christening invitations are essential if you want to invite friends and family to your baby's Christening. A Christening is often the next big family event after a wedding and so, just as like a wedding, it's traditional for your Christening invitations to be fairly formal. Of course, if you'd prefer to send informal or fun invitations to your guests then that's up to you.

A party thrown to celebrate the occasion will probably have one of the widest age ranges - from the baby to grandparents and perhaps even great-grandparents. Christenings and naming ceremonies tend to be regarded as the time when a child is officially named, the only difference being that one is a religious ceremony, the other non-religious.

When do I send out Christening invitations?
Christening invitations need to go out at least a month beforehand to ensure that people are free.

It's a good idea to enclose a map/ information pack to help your guests find their way. Family will often travel long distances to attend a Christening, so it's worth including details of local B&B's and hotels for those who may want to stay overnight.

Many people word their Christening invitations to include an address for people to reply to, but a good way of getting responses quickly is to include a card that can be completed and posted back to you. If you've got the spare cash, you could also include a stamped, self-addressed envelope - and then they've got no excuse!
