Christening ceremonies are always special occasions. Slightly different to a baptism, which is more of a religious initiation to Christianity, a Christening acts as giving the child their name but in the Church.
One thing you can guarantee though is that family and friends will gather and celebrate a Christening. But if you’ve never been to one, or want to send a card, you may be unsure of what to say.
So if you are searching for the perfect words to congratulate and wish happiness to the child and their parents these christening messages and wishes will help.
