A baptism card or christening card that sings, with the family's real faces

A baptism video card with your family's real faces singing an original gospel song at the garden party afterward. For godparents and grandparents. Free preview, $1.99.

Need a baptism card or christening card you can send today, and one that's a little funnier than a dove in silver script? This one is a short music video where your family's real faces sing a gospel song in their Sunday best.

You upload a photo. The faces get cut out and set on the dancers, and their mouths move to the words. It's made for godparents, for grandparents who live far away, and for the aunt who missed the service and would like to be forgiven.

Happy Baptism Day

It starts at a sunny backyard garden party with white tablecloths and a little white church way off in the distance. Three dancers in pastels and big church hats sway and clap like a very happy choir. Then a shady oak tree and a table of food, then a riverbank with a picnic table, then string lights at golden hour.

The song has Hammond organ, tambourine and a full choir behind a big lead vocal. The verse tells the story of the day: "A little water on your head and it ran right down your nose." The chorus is "Bless this day! Bless this day! Loved by all of us, come what may!" Then the last line, which is the part we'd sing at any church reception: "Save me some potato salad!"

Nobody's dancing at the font and nothing is making fun of the sacrament. The jokes are about the family, who have it coming.

What to write in a baptism card

You type the names, and you can rewrite the headline, which starts as BLESS THIS DAY. A few that work:

  • WELCOME TO THE FAMILY, KID
  • YOUR GODMOTHER CRIED THE WHOLE TIME
  • SLEPT THROUGH THE WHOLE THING
  • BLESSED AND ALREADY NAPPING

For the message that goes with it, keep it short and sign it from everybody. "We're so glad you're here" does fine. There's a longer free list of what to write in a card if you're stuck.

Who to put on the dancers

Three faces go in. The classic version is mom, dad and the godparent. If you want the baby in it, try a clear photo of the baby's face in the free preview before you pay. A baby's head on a grown woman in a church hat is a strong look.

The cutout keeps the photo as it is. The dancers and the song are AI-made, and the faces are your real family with nothing redrawn.

A second card for the party

If the same family has something else to celebrate, like a new job or a new house, You Did It, Big Shot is the all-purpose congratulations card. It's a different mood from the baptism card and better for the cousin than the baby.

Sending it

Make a share link and put it in the family chat, or email it to up to 5 people from the card page. It opens a plain web page that plays the video, so Grandma installs nothing and signs in to nothing. You can also download the MP4 and keep it for the baby's eighteenth birthday, when it should be very embarrassing.

The preview with your faces is free. Keeping it costs $1.99, once.

Questions

Is the baptism card respectful?

It's warm and a bit silly, and it stays at the party. All the dancing is at a backyard garden party and a riverbank picnic, with nobody dancing in the church. The biggest joke is about potato salad.

Does it work for a christening?

Yes. The song says baptism-day things like a little water on your head, and you can change the headline to HAPPY CHRISTENING or the baby's name.

How many faces does the baptism card take?

Three. You pick which face goes on which dancer, so parents, godparents and grandparents can all take a turn.

How much is it?

The preview with your faces is free. Keeping the card is $1.99, paid once, with no subscription.
