Baptism Wishes: What to Write in a Baptism Card

Are you struggling to write some baptism wishes? Aren’t sure what to write in a christening card? A Baptism is a special day so you will want to have a touching message or inspirational quote for the baby.

This guide will show you how to write your own baptism wishes and give you some examples you can use in a card or say to the parents on the day.

Deciding on Your Baptism Wishes

You will want your christening or baptism wishes to be from the heart. Getting baptised is a time for celebration. It’s a rite of passage that signifies your commencement to God and Christ. And just a really big moment for the whole family.

That’s why you should reach out to whoever it is involved with the christening to offer your blessings.

What to Write in a Baptism Card

Writing baptism messages are trickier than they might first seem. It can be tough to know how to express how you feel to the person involved. Even more so if you’re very close to them. And you don’t want to write anything that might be offensive, which is possible when it comes to religious matters.

You can try wishing the child themselves well and offer some words of wisdom that they can read when they get older. Or you can address your card to the parents and let them know how happy you are that their young one is entering into the arms of the Lord.
