Occasion
A baptism, a first communion or a confirmation is a day the family keeps. The card gets kept with it, so a few lines in your own hand matter more than a printed verse. Our Christian cross cards are blank inside, with an envelope for every card, and the Thank You set covers the notes the family writes afterward.
Below are short baptism card messages, christening wishes, first communion and confirmation messages, Bible verses from the NIV, and wording for baptism thank you cards. For more, see our guide to what to write in a baptism card and our first communion thank you notes.
Every set has 12 cards and 12 envelopes, blank inside.
See the collection on AmazonWhat to write
Start with their name, say one honest thing, and sign off warmly. Copy one of these or use it as a starting point.

Write one verse, then add a line of your own under it. All verses are from the NIV.
After the service, the family thanks the godparents, the pastor or priest, and the guests who came or sent a gift. Our Christian Cross Thank You Cards have Thank You on the front and nothing inside.

The paper

Every design is printed with non-toxic inks.
Nothing printed inside, so the words are yours.
One envelope for every card, in the same box. Nothing else to buy.
Questions
Congratulate the family, use the child's name, and add a blessing or one Bible verse. Three or four lines is a full card. For an adult baptism, write to the person directly and say you are glad to share the day.
Nothing that matters for the card. Christening is the older word for an infant baptism, common in Catholic, Anglican and Lutheran families. Use whichever word the family uses on the invitation.
Congratulate the child by name, say what the day means in one plain line, and add a short prayer or a verse about the Lord's Supper, such as John 6:35. Keep the language simple enough for a seven or eight year old to read.
A confirmation is the young person's own choice, so speak to them, not about them. Say you are proud of the step they are taking, add a verse about courage or faith, and sign with a blessing.
Godparents usually add a line about their promise: to pray for the child, to be there for them, to help them grow in faith. One sentence is enough.
Yes. Every Twigs Paper card is blank inside and comes with an envelope. The cross design has nothing printed inside, so the same box works for a baptism, a communion, a confirmation and the thank you notes after.
