Create a Free Christining Invitation
For Christians, the birth of a child is publicly commemorated with a christening. A christening is the time when a minister prays blessings upon the child's life. It is also a time when a minister charges the child's parents, grandparents and godparents to teach the child about God and raise the child with love and proper guidance. To make sure the people you want witnessing your child's christening are present during the event, create and send free christening invitations. You can create these invitations using Microsoft PowerPoint.
Instructions
1. Click "Start," then "Programs" and then "Microsoft PowerPoint" to open a blank slide. Right-click on the border of the text box labeled "Click to add title." Click "Format," then "Font" and change the font color to one of your preference.
2. Right-click. Select "Background." Click "More colors" to open a full screen of colors. Pick a color for the invitation's background, then click "OK."
3. In the text box labeled "Click to add title," type a one-line invite that communicates the importance of attending the christening. Example: "Please bless us with your presence at the christening of (child's name)."
4. Type "Date" in the text box labeled "Click to add subtitle." Include the date of the christening. Hit "Enter," then type "Time" and include the time of the christening.
