I’m going to a christening today. I’ve bought a card. I have no idea what to write in it so please can I have some inspiration ?

It depends how religious you would like to be, a religious message might be "wishing you happiness and health as you join in faith today, we are so blessed to share your special day" whereas as a more generic message might be "wishing you happiness and health throughout your days, we are so happy to share your special day"

What to write in a Christening Card

When writing a Christening card, it can be hard to know if you're addressing the message to the parents or the child. There's no wrong answer — it can be either. If the child is too young to read, their parents or guardian will read it aloud either way...

"Wishing you every blessing on your christening day."

If it was me I'd also quote an appropriate bible verse but that's unnecessary if you aren't particularly a bible fan.
