Christening decorations

If you want to have a small ceremony, with family and your closest friends, there’s no need to go overboard with buying too many decorations, which may go unnoticed and christening balloons are a great way to save some pennies. When you plan to decorate for your baby’s christening, first make a list with all the things you will need to make sure you don’t go way over your budget. Buy only what it’s absolutely necessary, like christening favors, a cake that can be used as a centerpiece and what else you might want.

Church
Use the balloons in the church to create a nice arch at the entrance, and even put a small sign announcing the big event. This way your guest will know that they are in the right place and they will all appreciate your decor.

Place several christening balloons filled with helium and with cute drawings at the altar and add some simple balloons around the christening font to make sure the whole place will look great in pictures. Before trying to do all these, make sure that the priest doesn’t mind because you don’t want to start the ceremony on the left foot.

Home
Use balloons to decorate the door and you can also add flowers or small paper butterflies to improve the look. The simple, cheap balloons are the best for this job because they will look better than the foil christening balloons which are used as standalone decorations.

If you are having a buffet, than you can decorate the front of the table with smaller balloons but make sure that everyone can reach to the table. The christening balloon can be easily used as centerpiece and if you want to add your personal touch, write something touching on it, personalize it with the picture of your baby or ask your guests to write something.

Avoid using too much balloons because you don’t w ant to feel like there’s no free space left. Use them sparingly and make use of your other christening decorations to make the room look great.

Christening balloons made from foil are usually sold for $0.50-$2.00 and if you more you can get them even for half the price. Regular balloons are cheaper, for $10 you can get as much as 200 balloons so you can use them as you want. Think of a theme for your christening party and try to buy decorations that match with the decor and your party will be surely a great one. After you’re done with all this work, just stop and look around: if you are happy with how everything looks, your guests will feel the same.
