    Who to address baptism card to?

    Hi everyone,
    Hoping you can help me. I am just wrapping a gift and writing a card for a baptism we are going to today... do I address the card to the parents or to the baby?
    I've got no idea!

    and do you write 'congratulations on the baptism?'

    I think from memory people put our names and our baby's names but cant be posative, how old is the baby?

    so you could write something like

    dear ***** and ******* congratulations on the baptism of you darling son/daughter ******

    HTH

    Yeah I think if it were me I would make it to the parents and the baby after all it is a family celebration. I just thought if the baby was old enough to accept the card themselfs then address it to them but at nine months I think the baby would prolly just try to eat it LOL

    Have a good day

    We got both, from aunt's and grandparents we got to the children, and from some friends we got to the parents. Their aunt did beautiful cards with "blessings" to the kids and she wrote the meanings of their names. I think it depends how you go.

    I'd probably do a life blessings in a card I would do too so I'd probably do it to the children. (I know how sleeping beauty... but its just something our family does)

    If you haven't written it yet, make sure you spell Baptism with a capital

    When DD was baptised all the cards were addressed to her.

    They wrote something along the lines of

    "congratulations on your special day"
