Baptisms are one of the most important days in a baby’s life. A baptism signals the beginning of a journey through the Christian faith to be supported by the baby’s parents, godparents, and their church family. The symbolic representation of water purification signifies the baby is born again into the Christian faith.
The baptism ritual is one from which many memories are preserved in scrapbooks or baby books. These items include photos, certificates, and baptism cards. Since the words written in baptism cards may be reviewed for years by the family and the baby, deciding what to write can be challenging. We offer these suggestions of what to write in a baptism card in the hopes to ease your mind so you can enjoy the blessed event.
