Wedding and christening invitations
Two sacraments on the same day, in one invitation.
The wedding and christening invitation carries your names and your child's name, the date and the church. Inside, guests find the day in order, the church and the reception, your koumbaros, koumbara and godparents, and they reply once for everything. There are designs with swallows, with sugared almonds, with an island chapel, and an evening one in cherry-red velvet.

The day in the order it happens
In Greece the wedding usually comes first and the christening follows in the same church, often with the koumbaros and koumbara, the wedding sponsors, as godparents. The invitation says it simply: your names first, then a line for the christening and your child's name. If the christening is in another church, Gold adds it as a second venue with its own map. The price is the same as a wedding invitation.

WEDDING AND CHRISTENING QUESTIONS
How is the child's name written? To fit the line you choose, for example “and the christening of our daughter Helen”. Write the name and the wording in the order form, and we set it.
Does it cost more than a wedding invitation? No. A wedding and christening together cost the same as any invitation, in whichever package you choose.
Can the koumbaros and the godparents be different people? Yes. They are listed separately, together with the parents, in the order you like.
Do guests reply twice? No. One reply covers the whole day, with the number of adults and children.
Choose a design, pay when you order, and we build it for you.
