Christening ideas please?

[NellieBones]

Hi, I've been asked to make a christening card by the Godmother to be. The little girl will be 2 years old when she is christened, so rattles and dummies are out really. I'm a bit stuck, so am looking to pinch some of your inspiration ladies!

Thanks in advance

this is the one card that i've never atempted as yet. I never know what to put in them being non religious.

Our church gives each child a candle, so you could go with something like that? Or a bible? Or the font?

Have also seen some decoupage which might be meant for confirmation/first communion, but they might work?

My mum, who makes cards as well, has always threaded satin ribbon (in the appropriate colour) thru some eyelets, to make a cross shape.it looks very pretty. i think i have one of her christening cards upstairs. i'll take a photo of it later and try to upload it

THis one is really pretty and could be adapted for an older child

Clare, that a really pretty card. Esp. with the tags in the inside for personal messages.

Thank you
As you say - very adaptable - I added mini photos to the back parts of the card after the christening

Of course I dont mind - that is a beautiful version of the card.
I got the basic idea from some place or another - and just adapted it a bit here and there.
Your Mums card is gorgeous!
