How to Give the Most Memorable Baptism Favors

Figuring out exactly what to give as your meaningful baptism favors takes just a little imagination. After all, it is an significant day in your baby’s life. The first decision is whether or not the favors will have a religious or spiritual meaning. Once you have made this decision, it is much easier to make the final baptism favor determination. The next step is to decide how much you want to genuinely do yourself. You can purchase ready made favors, or you can purchase supplies and build something unique and interesting to give your guests.

There Are Endless Favor Ideas

After the guest list is narrowed down, you can start figuring out how many favors to buy. If you end up with a large guest list, you may be more likely to buy pre-made baptism favors, as opposed to making them yourself. The broad selection for large quantities of favors is very convenient. But, keep in mind, buying pre-made baptism favors will almost certainly cost more than crafting them yourself. In general, the party consultant will help with the most meaningful choice of favors. You might end up with place cards in a Noah’s Ark theme, or a cross-shaped bookmark.

For the most economic way to make favors for baby’s baptism reception, consider conventional types of favors such as fobs for key rings, bookmarks with baby’s name and birth information or the date of the baptism. Giving candy or chocolate is another way to offer some really cool favors that won’t break the bank. And, if you really are on a tight budget, you can make these things yourself, saving tons of money. Fobs for key rings are a nice keepsake for a baptism. They are generally pretty cheap and can be made from a variety of materials. Simply lay out these materials and cut to a bootie or antique scroll design using a pre-cut guide. For an extra personalized effect, you can paint the baby’s name and birthday right on the favor.

Favors with Special Themes

For more meaningful religious party favors, there are a number of religious icons that make great baptismal favors. Some examples are a silver cross that can be personalized, or a small statue of a patron saint. Remember to include a theme that is related to the family’s faith and ancestry. The most important thing about your baptism favors is that they honor this very important occasion in your baby’s life.
