Baptism or christening is a religious practice among Christians. This special event symbolizes the entrance of an individual (common among child) into a specific spiritual world. Since this is a once in a lifetime event, parents of child being baptized usually throws a party to celebrate such Christianhood. Hence, parents become ultimately busy in the overall preparation, from the setting of party’s venue, to listing and identification of guests, as well as designing and preparing baptismal invitations and baptism favors which will be given after the party.
Making baptism favors may require creativity, and we know that not everyone is gifted with artist’s hands. Ideally, baptism favors are figures resembling religious figures while others opt to make practical items bearing a “Thank You” message on the label.
To begin with selecting what baptism favors to distribute, you have to identify the preferences of your supposed guests. Do they like things that are for keepsake only or do they prefer the more practical ones? You may consult your family and friends since these people will be mostly your immediate and sure visitors.
When your idea of baptism favor is fully settled, you will now choose how you would get such baptism favors. Will you outsource it and have somebody who will make it according to your idea? Alternatively, will you buy the materials and use your talent in creative handcrafting? If you have much time to spend for it, you can make it by yourself.
Do not forget to incorporate religious figures in the baptism favors. Doing so will strongly remind the favor’s recipients that this favor was from a baptism party of your child. A party favor that has religious icon on it separates this token from all other favors.
Also please take note that whatever you give as token or gift, it will somehow reflect you of what you are. Therefore, choose an item that would best correspond to your character so that people could remind of you, too.
Regardless of which design to use, being the parent of the baptized child, the party need not be over expensive. As parents, pay more attention to the planned baptism party and spend wisely, in order to make room for baptism favors. This small thing will keep such event worth remembering.
