Christening Gift Wrap

If your godchild is being baptized or christened soon, then you will shortly be shopping for an appropriate gift to give the baby at the reception afterward. Usually the parents will have a list you can shop from for this occasion, or you can find something from the heart that they will cherish for their lifetime. Finding appropriate christening gift wrap is easier today than ever before. National chain greeting card stores usually carry a few different types, and Christian bookstores will have a nice selection as well. The online world will have everything at your fingertips, with all varieties of wrap available.

The most common patterns found on christening gift wrap are scenes of boy and girl angels or the Christian cross. These are some of the most purchased baby wrapping paper in the industry and will never fail to make your gift even more appropriate when given to the parents. Solid white wrapping paper and a big white satin bow is also suitable due to the new beginning and purity of the religious act. Depending on whether the ceremony is Catholic or Baptist will dictate the type of paper, and the gift topper. A Catholic baptism gift card with a small rosary chaplet is a great gift topper and will be a keepsake for the parents. My First Bible would also be a thoughtful and appreciated gift topper.

Baptism or christening gift wrap can also be created by you or your own children to make for a special and unique gift giving experience. You can let each child have a specific area of the paper to create their own christening theme. It can then be finished off with your additional artistic abilities, before wrapping the gift. Another option is to create your artworks on separate sheets of copy paper, then take them down to the local copy shop and have them create a collage onto one large sheet to use as the final wrapping paper.

For another unique way to create your own gift wrap, you can visit your local scrapbooking stores and purchase Christian iconic images to decoupage onto white or pastel gift paper. You can use images of babies, crosses, baptismal scenes, and sketches of a church to bring your wrap to life. You could also choose specific images and tell a themed story for the recipients. The idea behind this is to make the gift giving process as memorable and enjoyable as possible for the proud parents.
