How To Dress Your Baby for their Baptism and Christening Event

Preparing your little one for their upcoming baptism or christening event is so exciting! Their baptism gown holds much meaning and many parents preserve the gown and pass it down for generations.

Every day we receive photos from customers, with their precious babies wearing a Feltman Brothers Special Occasion gown that was passed down for generation. Christening gowns are an investment and for many it's well worth it.

What kind of outfit should I buy for a Christening Event?

The tradition has been to dress both Boys and Girls in Baptism gowns with a matching bonnets. Most parents appreciate the fine details on these gowns such as hand-smocking, embroidery, lace and pintucks. You'll get the most gorgeous photos to appreciate for many years to come. 

Don't love the gowns? You have many other options too. You can shop for a dressy longall or bobby suit for a baby boy, or a vintage style little dress for your baby girl christening. Some of our soft cotton Take Me Home Gowns can work for a baptism as well and include a matching hat.

What color should my baby wear to their Christening Event?

You'll be perfectly fine if you choose a crisp white gown or outfit for your baby girl or boy baptism event. White is the top seller and most obvious choice for this special event. Want to go with something else? Stick to other pastel colors such as ivory, light pink or blue.

What should I dress my toddler in for their baptism event?

If your child is over a year old, it'll be hard to find the traditional gown or special occasion set for them. There are many other beautiful options that work perfectly for a Christening, such as a fresh white knit set or all white dress.

What is the difference between the Girls and Boys special occasion sets?

We've designed different Baptism gowns for boys and girls simply because the parents prefer more detailing and lace for baby girl christening outfits , while we go a bit simpler for boys baptism gowns. Both have the most exquisite detailing and classiest looks.

What should I do with my child's Baptism Gown after we use it?

Your child's gown holds much meaning and you can choose what to do with it depending on your preference. Many parents frame the gown, some add to their child's keepsake box and others make sure to clean and store it and intend to pass it down to the next generation. Feltman Brothers Special Occasion gowns are designed to become heirloom pieces. 

What should the baby's older siblings wear to the Baptism ceremony?

No doubt your older children are excited to be at their baby's christening! Make sure they are dressed their very best in something fresh and new. They should be included in the family photos too so pay attention to the style and colors to ensure they coordinate best. We recommend a fresh bobby suit for the big brothers and crisp new dress for the big sisters.
