Where do I get christening invitations and what should they say on them?Christening invitations can be purchased at discount super stores like Wal-Mart,Our Baby’s Christening: A Cherished Memory Articles Costco, and Target or at specialty stationery stores or at specialty Christian stores or online in one of dozens of super invitation stores. Online is probably the easiest option because you can customize what you want the text to say, and you won't have to hand write any of the invitations. When you go online, you can type something once, and then the invitations will be exact copies that they mail you. You'll have 30 copies of the exact same invitation. That's efficiency.

One can imagine that christening invitations were sent out at that time too. After the 1st and 2nd century, infant baptism really found its place in society. The church didn’t start the practice in its earliest years, and that’s a certainty. However, people think that the folks the apostolic denomination really got the practice into full swing. There are probably apostolic christening invitations lining the store shelves to this day.Christening invitations can, and should, be purchased online for one sole reason: the baby’s picture can be uploaded and applied to all the cards.
