About these Christening & Baptism Invitations
A christening invitation has to do a job most invitations do not. It usually carries two locations and two times: the church at one time, the hotel or the house at another, and often a completely different address. Getting both onto one card without it reading like a timetable is most of the design work here.
The designs stay gentle. Teddy bears, rocking horses, angels and calligraphy, nothing that competes with the photographs taken on the day.
Printed on heavyweight cardstock in my studio in Mallow, County Cork, in A6 or A5 with a white or kraft envelope. Order a single one first at €2 to check the wording before committing to the full pack, since a wrong time on a christening invitation means a phone call to twenty people. Dispatch is 2 to 4 working days by An Post. See also christening cards, christening favours and baptism cards.
Invitation questions, answered
From proof to print, here's how an invitation order runs
What do I need to send you before you print?
Names, the date, the venue and any wording you want included, added through the personalisation box or sent to me directly for longer details.
Can I see a proof before it's printed?
Yes. Invitations always go out as a digital proof first. Nothing prints until you've approved it, so this is the point to catch any changes.
Do you print envelopes and address them?
Envelopes are included with every pack. Addressing them isn't included as standard, but ask if you need it for a large guest list.
How long does printing take once I approve the proof?
Made to order and dispatched within 2-5 working days of your proof approval, so allow extra time on top of the design and approval stage.
Can I order more later if my guest list grows?
Yes, keep the design details and message me for a top-up order. Small batches print quickly since the design is already set.
Can I get matching thank you cards or other stationery?
Yes, several invitation designs have a matching thank you card. Ask when ordering and I'll let you know what's available for that design.
