He has been excited for this important step in his faith for over a year and he really wanted it to take place on his 8th birthday. Thankfully it worked out that it was! This being my first baptism I ever planned, I was clueless to all the needed details. A few weeks before the special day, we took our son on a little photoshoot in his suit and tie.
We had the grand intention to take them on the temple grounds, but both the times we went the gates were closed. Bad luck! We opted for taking them just in our backyard. And thankfully we captured several great shots of him! The photos were two fold, to have a few pictures of him framed at the baptism and to have an image of him on the invites.
You can definitely invite over the phone, in person or through a text or email. That being said, the invitations were really nice to have! My son was able to give them to some of our neighbors and mail them to a few close friends who do not attend the same church as we do.
We had a small table outside the entrance of the meeting room which included his baptism memory book thank-you Grandma and Grandpa for the gift! This book is a wonderful keepsake! It has places to write the details of the baptism day, personal thoughts, a place for photos, a guest list and is interspersed with scriptures. We had the book opened to the guest list pages on the table, along with pens, and a framed scripture related to baptism found in 3 Nephi Which reads:. It is was a fitting verse for the occasion so I put it to a little design and framed it.
Also on the table were the printed programs for the baptism. The primary presidency had offered to make and print the programs for me.
So it maybe the case for you in your ward as well. I think you can count on about 1 bottle for every 2 guests. I enlisted my dad and brothers to do the scooping.
I set the ice cream out on the counter right before the baptism so it would be easy to scoop, but it was little TOO easy to scoop. I think minutes before you want to scoop it is ideal. I got 4 and once again had way too much. I had to rope this sweet boy into having one! Can I keep this kid? So we had a talk about what he was feeling was the spirit. Afterwards we had a photoshoot with everyone.
Unfortunately it was getting dark, which is something to consider when planning the time of your baptism! I had thought about that but we were forced into the time for several reasons. My husband had a really cool idea of getting matching ties for the two of them to wear. Then it will be something really cool for Cameron to keep once he passes. I guess my hubby has been thinking about death lately since his Grandpa passed. I ended up finding these ties on amazon- where else?
Adult version skinny tie, not the one pictured Boys version. After the baptism we headed home with all our extended family for tacos his favorite and dessert. More sugar! Learn how your comment data is processed.
This was perfect! I couldn't figure out Photoshop, but I downloaded the fonts and purchased the wreath design and mocked the whole thing up in Publisher. Lots of tweaking, haha, but it looks perfect! Thank you for this!!!! Hope to see a boy version soon! I'm so grateful for your generosity!! These are soooo precious and perfect. My daughter is so excited for her upcoming baptism and these are exactly what she wanted. Thank you so so much for sharing!
