Baptism Invitations – Things You Should Know
Baptism invitations play an important role in the planning of this special event for your baby but are you familiar with all the optional items that can be part of the complete invitation ensemble. Here is a list of extra items for your consideration to assist you in your invitation planning.
Photo Baptism Invitations: To uniquely personalize your invitations, have a photo of your baby printed on them. This makes the invitation a special keepsake for your guest to save beyond the celebration.
Reception Card: If you are planning a brunch or any type of celebration following the baptism ceremony and there is not enough room for the information on your invitation, you could include a reception card for listing all the details. Most invitation styles offer these cards with a matching design. Please keep in mind that this card could possibly add to your mailing cost since postage is based on weight.
Respond Card: To properly plan for your celebration as far as food preparations and seating arrangements, this card is essential so you have an accurate guest count. You will also have to decide on a reply date to list on the card so guests will respond accordingly. The respond card along with its mailing envelope will be inserted with your baptism invitations. Its return mailing envelope will have your address pre-printed on it and be sure to remember to include a postage stamp for easy returning by your guests.
Printed Return Address: This option of having your return address printed on the back flap of the invitation mailing envelope can save you valuable time and ensure that undeliverable ones are returned to you. There is an extra cost involved so it is optional.
Lined Outer Envelope: As an added touch to your baptism invitations, you can add a colored lining to your mailing envelopes. There is an extra charge for this lining and color choices will vary depending on the invitation style you choose.
Envelope Seal: These self-adhesive decorative stickers add a nice finishing touch to your mailing envelope. Available in many styles and colors, a seal is used to make it look like it is holding the flap down even though it has already been sealed.
Informal Note: Also used as thank you cards, they are pre-printed with the baby’s name on the front and the inside being left blank for handwriting your own personal thank you note to guests. Since informal notes are usually available to match your baptism invitations, it is recommended to order them at the same time to save time and extra shipping costs later. Blank mailing envelopes are included in the price or you can have a return address printed on them for an extra charge.
As you can see, there are many items that can be part of your baptism invitation ensemble. It is a personal choice as to which of the above items you choose to include. Your budget may also dictate which items you purchase as well.
