How to politely request no photos on sm in a baptism invitation?

8 replies

My baby's baptism is coming up in June and wondering if there is a polite way to word, in the invite, to request if they post any pictures online of that my baby's face is covered on social media? I'm dyslexic so any help with wording will be much appreciated.

Or is it best to quietly have a word with all guests prior?

Emily Post doesn't cover this.... 🤔

(the reason for wanting them offline is I had a stalker in the past, I haven't had an issue in years, but better to be safe than sorry)

You don't have to justify this want to anyone.

Please do not post any pictures of my baby or my family on social media

"Arrangements are blah blah blah...

Whilst we are happy for you to take photos of you want, we ask that you don't put of (baby's name) on any social media. Thanks very much! "

" you are welcome to take photos for yourself during the day, but please dont post any on social media"

How many people are you inviting?

I'd ask for no photos full stop. "For the comfort and wellbeing of everyone present, we would ask that no photographs of the event are shared with anyone outside of it."

It just removes any margin for error.

Just don't invite anyone

Thank you everyone for your replies with suggestions. I don't want to appear precious, but I'd rather he not come across pictures of them if possible as some of my friends have very public social media.

@ColdAsAWitchsTit and @Nimbostratus100 a combo of these might be an elegant solution. It will be a while since many guests have all been in the same room, so I don't want to stop people taking pictures as it will be a lovely reunion of sorts too, just to not post ones of my baby.

@BringItOnxxx that might be a little extreme 😅, a baptism (in my church) is a celebration of not only their faith but the baby's joining a wider community of friends and family.
