Three steps, no preparation
Create wishlist
Type in your email address, and the list is there right away – no waiting for an email. The name “Baptism wishes” is already filled in, and you can change it anytime.
Collect wishes
Copy the link from the store and paste it. Name, image and price are added on their own. On your phone, you can also do this right from “Share”.
Share the link
Send the link to everyone, by message or as a QR code. Whatever someone reserves is off the list for the others. They don’t see who it was.
What fits on a list like this
Just a few ideas. Add them with a store link or simply as text.
- Hand-decorated baptism candle
- Children’s Bible
- Silver picture frame
- A tree to plant
- Contribution to a savings account
- Photo book of the first year
For a baptism, people like to give something that lasts – and that’s exactly why coordinating is tricky: two silver picture frames are one too many, and nobody wants to ask and spoil the surprise. A wishlist takes the conversation out of it. You add what would suit the day, and your guests see for themselves what’s still available.
Common questions: Baptism
- How much do you give for a baptism?
- Godparents often give $50 to $150, frequently something lasting. For relatives and friends, $25 to $50 is a common range. These are guidelines, not rules – a thoughtful gift counts for more than the amount.
- What do godparents traditionally give?
- Classic choices are keepsakes: a baptism candle, a children’s Bible, or engraved jewelry. Many godparents also start a savings account or college fund for later.
- What should go on a baptism list?
- A mix of practical things for the first years and keepsakes. Children grow quickly, so things for later tend to be more useful than lots of clothes in one size.
Isn’t a baptism wishlist a bit impolite?
It’s an answer, not a demand. People ask anyway – the link just saves your guests from asking one by one, and from worrying about bringing the wrong thing.
Can we add cash gifts for the baptism?
Yes. “Contribution to the savings account” is a wish like any other, with or without an amount. Whoever wants to reserves it and brings the money.
Can the godparents coordinate with each other?
Through the list itself: whatever is reserved disappears for everyone else. Anyone who wants to can leave their name when reserving – only you see it, not the other guests.
How do we share the link with older relatives?
The easiest way is a QR code on the invitation. Snapping a photo of it is enough – nothing to install, no account to create.
How long does the list stay up?
As long as you like. You can delete it after the celebration or keep it – for example for a first communion or confirmation years later.
