For anyone who has an upcoming baptism party to plan, whether it’s for your own child or for that of a friend or family member, we’ve got 11 beautiful baptism party ideas to offer!
We will also provide examples of several excellent, relevant Peerspace venues. Peerspace is the largest online marketplace for renting event venues by the hour (often called “the Airbnb of event venues”). Just read on to find out how you can make your baptism party a roaring success!
1. Host an al fresco baptism party picnic
Assuming you live someplace where the weather will be warm around the time of the planned baptism, a lovely outdoor picnic is an ideal baptism party idea. You can hold this picnic in your own backyard or in a local park, or if you’d prefer to rent a nice and private outdoor venue through Peerspace, there are tons of options that would work well for a baptism party.
For instance, this metro DC event space in Berwyn Heights, MD can be the perfect outdoor space for small/micro gatherings of up to 30 people. Aside from the space itself, the host offers party-perfect add-on options, like tables and chairs, a grill, a heater, and a giant stuffed teddy bear!
One reviewer commented: “The space was perfect for my event! Had a lovely outdoor graduation picnic, and all my guests were very impressed by the space. It looks even prettier in person. The host was very communicative as I booked the space and let me tour it a few weeks before, and sprung directly into action as soon as she knew I’d arrived.” What a great location for a picnic!
2. Save a bit of the holy water as a keepsake
This baptism party idea comes to us from the Paperless Post blog. They suggest you “bottle a small portion of the holy water that’s used to baptize your baby to save as a keepsake.” The benefit of doing so is that this “can be a lifelong reminder of the first of many sacraments taken throughout your child’s life.” Someday, if your child asks about their baptism, you can show them photos of the ceremony and even the bottle of holy water that you saved.
3. Hire a professional photographer to capture the sweetest moments
Photos of your child’s baptism and the party that follows will be some of the most important photos that you’ll absolutely want to look back on in the future. Hiring a professional photographer to take them is one way to make those photos that much more special and beautiful. In fact, it’s worth budgeting for if you can swing it.
