The earliest extra-biblical reference to baptism occurs in the Didache (c. 100 A.D.), the Epistle of Barnabas (c. 130 A.D.), and the Shepherd of Hermas (c. 150 A.D.). All of these works describe the practices surrounding baptism in ways that imply it is adults that are baptized.

Party Games If there are older kids attending the baptism, you might want to plan some games such as put the pacifier in the baby’s mouth (alternate version of pin the tail on the donkey).
Party Activities Allow the adults to socialize and have the kids entertained by setting up a television to show appropriate kid friendly movies such as VeggieTales.

Baptism Outfit Ideas The party can be formal if help right after the baptism, but you could also give people time between the church service and the party to change into more comfortable informal wear.
Theme Combining You can combine the religious baptism theme with other baby party themes such as baby animals or teddy bears.
Party Venue For convenience you might want to have the baptism party at the church’s community room if possible.
Party Colors A traditional color to use for a baptism party is white.
Craft Kids attending the baptism party might enjoy making some religious themed crafts such as decorating foam or wooden crosses with glitter and sequins. Plan games and food well in advance for your baby's Baptism. If there will be a number of children, arranging specific entertainment for them is a good idea: for instance a clown, magician or jumping castle. For the younger children, an area where they will find toys, coloring books and games is a nice touch.
