31 March 2025

Spring is the time of the most expected celebrations, moments of conviviality that bring people together to celebrate important milestones, such as baptism.

This event, which marks the joy of birth and the sacrament of baptism, is an occasion of shared happiness, which requires taking care of the organization management, starting with the choice of the venue.

An outdoor baptism party is the perfect solution for those who want to celebrate surrounded by nature, fully enjoying the beauty of the season.

If you are thinking of an outdoor event, read our guide to find out how to organize a baptism party that will be remembered by everyone.

How to choose the right Venue for an outdoor baptism

Choosing the Venue for an outdoor baptism is essential to ensure that the event is special for the child and his family. The first aspect to consider is the location of the venue in relation to the church. Ideally, it should be at a comfortable distance, avoiding too long journeys for the guests. Furthermore, it is important that the structure has a private parking to facilitate the arrival of the guests and optimize the time, allowing you to dedicate yourself immediately to the celebrations.

The second factor to consider is the capacity and size of the space. A villa with a large garden is the ideal choice, where guests can relax, and children can play in complete safety. Having a well-distributed space helps to create an atmosphere of relaxation and conviviality, without the guests feeling too crowded.

Don't forget to consider a "plan B" in case of bad weather. A venue offering alternative coverage, such as an elegant gazebo or equally charming internal rooms, will allow you not to worry about the rain and still ensure the comfort of all guests.

Another crucial aspect is to check whether the venue allows a customized setup in the designated spaces, which can really make a difference in the look and feel of the event. Adding decorations such as balloons, fresh flowers and other details will help make the environment even more special. Also, agree on the menu with the facility or with the catering service, considering options that even the little ones will like.

Finally, if you need extra help today you can rely on a party planner, who can help you organize every detail, so that everything goes smoothly, and you can enjoy the day of the baptism without worries.

Some original ideas

- Entertainment for children. Keeping the little ones at the table for a long time can be complicated. For this reason, hire a professional who will entertain them with engaging games and activities, such as sack races, hula hoops or baby dance. Activities that children will remember fondly even after the party.

- Relaxing area for adults. Create a space dedicated to adults where they can enjoy the tranquillity of the garden. Comfortable sofas and chairs are ideal for a relaxing corner surrounded by greenery, where adults can chill while the children have fun.

- Original party favours. Favors are the traditional way to thank guests. An original idea is to opt for solidarity party gifts, perhaps in favour of an association that supports children in difficulty. Another idea could be to give succulent plants, perfect for an outdoor party and a symbol of growth and life, or food favours, such as balsamic vinegar, extra virgin olive oil or fruit compotes.

- Themed photo corner. Set up a photo corner to enrich the atmosphere of the event. You can create a setting with an arch of fresh flowers or a customized background that will allow guests to shot unforgettable memories.

- Ice cream kiosk: To add a special touch to the party, you can set up an ice cream cart, perfect for the season and the alfresco setting. A kiosk that will make the party even more enjoyable, both by adults and children, offering a moment of freshness and sweetness.
