Choosing the Perfect Baptism Attire for Your Little Boy

Posted by Jill on 3rd Oct 2018

The baptism gown or christening gown is a keepsake marking this special milestone in your little boy’s life. If you are selecting the perfect one from all of the different christening outfits for
boys, consider the following:

What color gown do you want?
While white is the color most people choose because it traditionally symbolizes purity and innocence, it does not mean you cannot choose a different color gown. Just make sure to check with your church to find out if other colors are allowed, as some religions may have strict rules and require the gown to be white.

Do you want a traditional grown or a modern outfit?
Gowns are the traditional style of baptismal and christening wear. If your little boy is more active or you want something more modern, choose a romper or a special white tuxedo-style suit instead.

What fabric do you want?
Fabric choice should be influenced by the time of year. You want soft, breathable materials for the warmer spring and summer months. In winter, heavier materials are better since they will keep your little boy warm. Sleeve lengths on gowns should also be determined by the time of year. In spring or summer, short sleeves are ideal, while in winter you will want to choose a gown with long sleeves.

What accessories do you want to go with the gown or outfit?
Most parents will choose a bonnet for their little boy to wear during his baptism or christening. Bonnets should complement the christening gown or outfit you select. In addition, you may want your little guy to wear shoes and socks, especially if you selected a romper or suit for him to wear.
Traditionally, shoes and socks should also be white.
You may even want to include a shawl, blanket, towel, or bib to help celebrate your little boy’s baptism or christening. In the end, you want to make sure to select a gown or outfit which not only looks beautiful on your little boy and in the numerous pictures that will be taken, but which is also comfortable.
