You have received an invitation for a baptism and the date of the first sacrament is approaching… Do you already know what to wear? And what to give as a gift for a baptism?

We can't help you with the outfit, but we can help you with the gift! In the past we wrote an article explaining why giving a personalized piece of jewelry for a baby girl's or boy's baptism was an original, unique and elegant gift idea.

Tradition dictates that a precious object is given to the child, usually a small bracelet made of precious materials, better if personalized. At this point the question arises spontaneously: what to engrave on the bracelet at the baptism? In this article you will find many ideas that will inspire you.

• The name

A person's first name is what characterizes a child from the day he or she is born, his or her name will always accompany him or her and is what the parents have chosen for him or her with so much love. With the engraving of the name you can't go wrong, it will be a classic and eternal gift.

• The date of birth

If you choose to engrave the date of birth you will give importance to a more special day, the one in which for the first time the child met the world and the loving gaze of his loved ones. It could be beautiful to engrave the name on the front and the date of birth on the back.

• The date of baptism

You are giving a baptism gift so it is a good idea to engrave the date of the sacrament instead of the date of birth, if it is a Christian baptism this choice will have a symbolic value: the date of baptism is the day on which his Christian life begins. Also in this case we recommend that you engrave the name on the front side of the bracelet and the date on the back side.

• A word of good wishes such as "ad maiora", "gratia", "fidem"

If you want to give a truly special and surprising gift, you can choose to engrave on the child's bracelet a word with a deep meaning such as "ad maiora" (I always wish you better things), "gratia" (I wish you the gift of grace), "fidem" (I wish you to have faith). These three words are Latin words, if you prefer a modern word you can also opt for English words such as "happiness" (happiness), "hope" (hope), "courage" (courage).

• The name of the person who gave the gift

The rule in this case is to leave the name on the front and the name of the person who gave the gift on the back. Engraving the name of the person who gave the gift is a strong choice, which will remain forever with the child even when he or she is an adult, so it is recommended if you are a very close relative (grandparents, aunt/uncle) or if you have an important role on the day of the baptism (godfather or godmother)

Now that you have some alternatives, all you have to do is gather your ideas, select the cutest model, choose what to engrave and prepare an irreplaceable baptism gift!
