Although a baby's baptism (sometimes referred to as christening), is supposed to be a special moment in the baby's life, it's really more special to the parents and grandparents.
Obviously the baby has no awareness of what is going on, nor do they remember anything about it in later years. However, I have heard some adults say that it was very meaningful to them that their parents had them baptized as an infant.

Without turning this into a religious discussion, let's just say that it is a religious ceremony in which some Protestants and Catholics consider the baby being dedicated to the Lord, or with some particular denominations the baby is being baptized into the covenant family of believers in the Lord Jesus Christ. In either case, the baby is sprinkled on the head by the preacher or priest. My parents had me baptized in a Methodist church.

Baby baptisms are generally witnessed by the church congregation, as they are usually done at the time of a church service, and then also by family members and friends who have been invited by the parents. Even though it has often been handled with a few phone calls, today more people are ordering baby baptism invitations. You can order them online and get exactly what you want, it doesn't take a lot of time, it's very affordable, and they make a great keepsake item for the parents and grandparents.
