A Flower Edged Cross for a Baptism Gift
Soft teal watercolour washes drift across a white tag, with faint gold lines like marble veins. A white cross outlined with tiny pink flowers and green leaves sits in the upper half. Below it, BLESSING ON YOUR sits in grey capitals, Baptism runs in a pink script, and a quote reads Wishing you a lifetime of love and faith. Two dashed writing lines for names finish the tag below the quote.
Cross Top and Quote Below
The tag is 2 x 3.5 inches, portrait. The cross takes the top half, the title and quote fill the middle, and the lines sit at the bottom, all on a soft pale background.
Blessing or Blessings
The top line reads BLESSING ON YOUR, which is a common phrase but reads more naturally as BLESSINGS ON YOUR. Add the S if you prefer. The quote suits any baptism or christening, and the dashed lines are ready for the child’s name.
Preparing the Baptism Tag
- Consider adding the S to Blessing.
- Write the child’s name.
- Add your name.
- Print on white card.
- Attach to the gift.
Christening Gifts
Silver keepsakes, children’s bibles, photo frames and blankets are common christening gifts. A tag with the child’s name adds a personal touch. Godparents often keep the tag with the gift.
Changing Baptism to Christening
In some churches the word christening is more common. Change Baptism to Christening in the same pink script. The rest of the tag works for both.
First Communion and Confirmation
The cross and quote also suit First Communion and Confirmation gifts. Change the title to match. The soft colours suit both boys and girls.
Printing Watercolour
The teal wash is soft and prints best at high quality. Use bright white card to keep it fresh. If the cross border looks faint, darken the flower outlines slightly before printing a full sheet.
Guest Favours
Parents can use the tag on small favours, such as sugared almonds, with a thank you line. Type the child’s name in the From line. Guests take home a small reminder of the day.
Using the Baptism Tags
Print them a week before the service.
