The child keeps a book of what everyone said at their christening, and can hear each voice once they're old enough to ask about the day.
Gathering is free. You won't need a card.
We are enabling over 1 million people to say it. Share the stories, love and gratitude. Your voice is what makes the world's greatest gift.
Add the baby's name and send the link to the godparents first, then the rest of the family.
Friends and family can capture a memory by voice, video, writing or photos, wherever they are in the world. It's easy on any phone and nobody needs an account!
We write out every voice note and gather it all into a podcast you can play and a beautiful book you can hold.
The parents pick who goes first, and the link goes round from there.
They've been asked to look out for this child for life.
They were at the parents' own christenings thirty-odd years ago, and they can tell the baby who was there that day.
Guests add the photos they took on their own phones to their message.
Tell the baby one thing that happened today that nobody will catch in the photos.
"Jack, I'm your godfather. I'll teach you to swim in Salthill, and when you're older I'm the one you ring for a lift home at two in the morning."
"Jack, I'm your great-aunt Attracta. I knitted the shawl you were wrapped in today."
"Hi Jack. You held my finger today and wouldn't let go. When you're bigger I'll show you the tree house."
"Jack, I watched it all on a video call from Sydney at four in the morning. Your mam held you up to the phone after."
Guests can record about the day while it's fresh.
We gave a book of stories about Mam to her for Christmas and she said it was the best gift she had received. There were some stories she had never heard! She felt really surrounded by love.
