Christening and naming day
For parents, grandparents and godparents.
White, gold and a great deal of quiet. For a church christening or a non-religious naming day.
All 10 invitations
Candlelight The guest touches the candle: the flame slowly catches, warm light travels across the page, and the foil on the baby’s name begins to shine.
Christening Gown The guest lifts the sheer tulle cover to reveal the lace christening gown; the card hanging from the hook bears the baby’s name.
Silver Spoon The guest opens the velvet jewellery box: the lid tips back, and inside on satin lies the silver christening spoon, the baby’s name on its handle.
Olive Branch The guest breaks the sage wax seal: the flap opens, the letterpress card slides out, and a paper dove takes flight with an olive branch.
Stained Glass The guest touches the window: behind it the sun rises, the stained glass slowly lights up, and coloured light falls on the card lying on the sill.
Silk Ribbon The guest pulls the powder-pink silk ribbon: the bow comes undone, and the panels of the tri-fold letter open.
Tree of Life The guest taps, and one by one the birds take flight from the branches; beneath the roots, the name begins to shimmer.
Music Box The guest winds the walnut music box: the key turns, the lid lifts, inside is a brass plate with the baby’s name, and golden notes float upward.
Moses Basket The guest pulls the linen cover back from the wicker Moses basket to reveal the embroidered pillow with the baby’s name.
Silver Frame The guest wipes the mist from the glass of the embossed silver frame with a fingertip; the rest clears on its own, and the name begins to shine.
