Frequently Asked Questions

What colours are used for baptism and christening envelopes?
Traditional baptism and christening envelopes use white, ivory, pale blue (for boys) and pale pink (for girls). Cream and natural finishes are also popular for a warmer, less clinical presentation. Pearlescent and textured finishes add a premium quality appropriate for a formal occasion invitation.

What size envelopes are used for christening invitations?
Most christening invitations are C6 (fits an A6 card) or DL (110 x 220mm, fits a long-format invitation folded to thirds). For a formal invitation suite with separate RSVP card and details insert, C5 provides more space. Always assemble a complete invitation and weigh it before deciding on size — multiple inserts add to bulk and weight.

Are baptism and christening envelopes compatible with Royal Mail?
Yes — standard sizes (C6, DL, C5) qualify as large letter within Royal Mail's weight and thickness limits. Always weigh a complete, sealed envelope before posting at volume — cards with multiple inserts may push the weight above the large letter threshold.
