I would like to know if other parents had their bubs baptised in non traditional white clothing? I’m having trouble finding a baptism outfit for our chubby will be 6 month old so I’m thinking a white button up shirt and smart pants?
Our little man (6 months) wore nice pants, a collared shirt (which was a body suit so it didn’t ride up) a bow tie and suspenders!. He got so many comments. I purchased the shirt from next direct. The bow tie and suspenders were purchased from Etsy also online. Jacqueline
My little boy was 5 months just in October. He wore an outfit from big w and added suspenders. Lauren
My nefew was a 7mo chubby bubby and he wore a 3peice light grey suit with white shirt and shoes Jess
Our son was baptised at 2 so we didn’t think it appropriate for him to wear the traditional white gown so we just dressed him in a smart pair of pants and collared shirt. Kristyn
That is perfectly fine. You could also have him in bright purple but have a white stole (white cloth scarf) and that would be sufficient pending your priest! Rosalie
My little fella was in Blk and white short suit. Less the tie Kaitlyn
They usually ask for white to symbolise purity. Because babies are pure. I’m sure it won’t be a big deal if you can’t find a white outfit. Have you tried best and less? Regine
my boys had to wear all white, very traditional church, we got the outfits from Clever Bean Katrina
We just dressed our boy in a suit he got from his aunt from Japan. But any smart outfit is fine. It was a pretty laid back day though. Karen
My sons were 4yrs and 6mths when I got them christened. They wore white pants, white button up shirt, white vest and white bow ties. Super cute!! Sarah
Our lil man was baptised in a white silk romper suit it doesn’t matter as long as u r happy :)) Chloe
I didn’t like any of the traditional baptism clothes for boys so we had him in a teeny tiny collared shirt and pants. We wrapped him in our family baptism blanket which is a gorgeous white crocheted blanket with a fringe. That made it seem a bit more baptism-y. Shelley
My cousin got his son baptised in a white little suit with a bowtie. It was a wedding outfit for weddings and i think they got it off ebay. Tegan
My son was christened in a little summer tuxedo suit at an anglican church. This was 21 years ago and there were no dramas. Gina
We have same issue. Baby will be 14 months so bit pointless trying to put him in a gown. Have bought a nice white onsie (so it doesn’t ride up) that has a bow tie and a vest with it (real, not the painted on sort). It will be summer so putting dressy shorts on over top. Michaela
My daughter was one of 4 babies being baptised and was the only girl. None of the 3 boys were in white they all wore button up shirts and pants. So wasn’t actually me but hopefully that helps! Amy
My boy/ girl twins didnt wear a traditional outfit. My son had a white shirt and faint checked pants and a peach/white dress for daughter. Karen
Thats exactly what i dressed my son in. No rules & i think as long as they look nice it doesnt matter Isabel
Check with your church but I’ve seen many bubs baptised in clothing that wasn’t white. Molly
