What To Write in a Baptism Card

The name given to the process or sacrament of welcoming a child into the church or faith community varies among denominations, which means you may be looking for a message for a baptism, dedication, or Christening. If you're unsure of how to phrase your message, follow the invitation's lead. Typically it will follow some version of "Please join us for the [baptism/dedication/christening] of [child's name]." We've included options here that are ideal for baptism and christening messages, but can also be used for dedications. If you're unsure of where to start, we also included a list of bible verses that perfectly speak to the importance of the day. Finally, as is true with most things, any message that speaks to the heart is typically a no-fail strategy so feel free to use this list to draw out your very own best wishes for the baptism.
