Baptism Cards

What Are Baptism Cards?

Baptism cards are flat, full-color cards printed for a christening in 14 sizes, from a 2.5" x 2.5" square up to a 6" x 11", on any of 22 stocks. Families reach for them as christening invitations, birth and baptism announcements, thank-you notes, keepsake favors and place cards, and prayer or program cards for the service. Because a single product covers so many jobs at so many sizes, you can keep the whole day on one design language. If the celebration is a First Communion instead, the Communion Cards carry the same idea, and the Gender Reveal Cards cover the announcement that often comes first.

What Size Should a Baptism Card Be?

The right size comes down to the job. A 2.5" x 2.5" square is a keepsake or a favor tag, small enough to tuck into a gift bag or set at a place. A 3" x 3" or 4" x 4" gives an announcement room for a photo and the child's name. A 3" x 4" or a card up to 6" x 11" reads like a full invitation, with space for the church, the time, a map and an RSVP line. All 14 sizes, both finishes and the full stock list are grouped below exactly the way the live configurator presents them, so you know what you can change before you change it. If none is quite right, set a custom size up to 6" x 11" in the same panel.

Here are a few easy ways to make a baptism card feel like the occasion.

Pick a stock that feels like a keepsake

A christening card is meant to be saved, so the stock does real work. White linen reads soft and classic under the fingertips, a cream uncoated warms up a traditional design, and the metallic pearl stocks in gold, silver, champagne and ice catch the light like foil without the foil price. The default 14pt Gloss Cover keeps a photo card clean and crisp, and a High Gloss UV Coating makes the color snap. There are recycled options at 30% and 100% post-consumer waste too, if that matters to the family.

Design it without a designer

You do not need a design background to make a baptism card look sharp. Start from a free, professionally built layout in the design library below, then change the colors, copy and photo in the online editor in minutes. A soft border, a single script line and one photo is usually all a christening card needs.

Already have your artwork? Skip the editor and download a press-ready blank instead. Each template is built at the real trim size with the 1/8" bleed and safe margin already drawn in, so your design never crowds the cut. Grab the size that matches your order below, drop your art in, and upload.

How Much Do Baptism Cards Cost?

Baptism cards start at $16.48 per set of 50, and the per-card price keeps dropping as the quantity climbs toward 100,000, so a cheap baptism card really comes down to how big a run you order. An 800-card run is $73.60, about 9 cents each, and 7,000 cards run $176.61, close to 2.5 cents each. So how many do you actually need? Drag the slider below to set your count and watch both the set total and the true per-card cost update live, and find the point where one more step up barely moves the budget.

Can You Print a Name on Each Card?

Yes. Turn on variable data and you can drop a unique guest name, a table number or a one-off detail onto every single card in the run, so each one ships personalized instead of identical. That turns a baptism card into a named place card, a keepsake favor with a real recipient, or an invitation addressed to each family. It is the easiest way to make a set of cards feel made for the people at the ceremony. Pair it with full color on both sides and a metallic or linen stock, and a small square starts doing the work of something much larger. For a religious coming-of-age card in the same family, the Bar Bat Mitzvah Greeting Cards follow the same build.

How Do Baptism Cards Compare to the Rest of the Range?

Baptism cards are the flexible pick when one event needs an invitation, an announcement and a thank-you, but they are not your only move. If you are weighing a First Communion card, a coming-of-age card or a family announcement, it helps to see the trade-off in plain numbers. The chart below lines up baptism cards against their closest siblings so you can compare the starting price on each before you choose.

How Fast Can You Get Baptism Cards?

Baptism cards print on a 3 business day standard turnaround, and when the ceremony sneaks up you can move that to 2-day, Next-Day or even Same-Day production. Each step buys back time for a set percentage on top of the base price, so you only pay for speed when you actually need it. Same Day orders need to be approved by noon EST to ship that day. Compare every turnaround tier below and see exactly what the rush adds before you pick.

See the Rest of Our Cards

Baptism cards are one stop in a much larger lineup, and you can scan the full print product range any time. If a First Communion card, a coming-of-age card or a family announcement would serve the occasion better, the rest of the family is one tap away. Each option shows its own starting price and links straight to its product page, so finding the right fit takes seconds.
