Baptism Party Favor Ideas

Some of the hottest Baptism favor items for 2011 are being made in Murano glass.

This lovely glass has always been popular and now it's showing up in forms just perfect for Christenings.

Choose from glass crosses, frames, ornaments, free-standing sculptures and more. Many are in the shape of ornate crosses and come in a variety of dazzling colors. These will look great with your baptism tableware.

They make lovely favors because they work for either male or female guests. Check online for the best selections.

Mini piggy banks or crystal favors are charming too. It's really about creating a tablescape that includes a pretty favor at each seat.

So, whatever you choose, ensure that it goes along with both the religious aspect of the day and the white of innocence color scheme.

Then, you can add any accent colors you like. Blue is fine for boys or pink for girls.

Or if you want to do a polka dotted accent for napkins and ribbons, go right ahead.

The sky's the limit. How much you spend depends entirely on your budget. Just remember, it's completely up to you if you include favors at all. A simple card of thanks at each place setting is enough to show guests you are glad they came to help celebrate an important event in your baby's life. And if the favor idea is stressing you out, ask someone close to you for help. There are plenty of aunts and cousins willing to do the legwork for you while you attend to other aspects of the day. You need only ask.
