LDS Baptism Dresses for Her Special Day
Your little one’s baptism day is such an exciting day in her life! You can make it even more special when you find a beautiful, well-fitted dress that makes her feel like a queen. A beautiful dress marks the occasion and reminds her of the importance of baptism each time she wears it. Having a quality dress guarantees that it will last and will bring you both joy each time she puts it on.
The Importance of an LDS Baptism Day
Baptism is a covenant or a promise you make with God. When your daughter chooses to get baptized, they promise to follow God and His commandments and remember Him as best as they can. When someone is eight years old, they can make a choice to get baptized. People choose to get baptized at many different ages, from 8 years old to 100 years old.
A worthy man who holds the priesthood, the power of God on earth, will have the privilege of baptizing someone. Often, the priesthood holder is someone special, like a dad, grandpa, or uncle. Baptism is performed by immersion, which means you go all the way under the water and come back up. Baptism by immersion signifies death and rebirth to a new life.
After someone is baptized, they will receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost helps Christians feel God’s love, comfort, and guidance throughout life.
What Do You Wear to an LDS Baptism?
Due to the sacredness of the baptismal covenant, your family’s guests will wear their Sunday best to the baptism. Sunday best is skirts, dresses, and pantsuits for women and shirt and tie for men. All are welcome to come to a baptism; Sunday dress is simply a way to show the baptized and God that they respect their decision to be baptized and want to support them.
When your little one is baptized, both her and the person baptizing her will wear all white. Most often, a white jumpsuit is provided for her and the person baptizing her. If she has a special white dress she wishes to get baptized in, she can bring her own white clothing. Just make sure that her clothing isn’t transparent when wet! You will need to pack a dry change of clothes to change into after the baptismal ordinance, which is most often your special baptism dress.
Common Questions About LDS Baptism Dresses
Are there any special requirements for an LDS Girls Baptism Dress?
If she chooses to be baptized in her baptism dress, it must be white and not transparent when wet. These are the only two requirements. Some choose to get baptized in a dress, and others prefer to wear a white jumper provided by ward or stake leaders.
Do Baptism Dresses for Girls Need to be White?
A baptism dress only needs to be all white if she will wear the dress to be baptized in. If she is wearing her dress before or after the baptismal ordinance only, it can be any color. Traditionally, dresses have been all white, but more and more girls are choosing to accent their white dresses with a little color, either directly on the dress or with a removable bow or flower.
Can a Girl Wear her White Baptism Dress during her LDS Baptism?
She can wear her white baptism dress during her baptism. However, many girls choose to get baptized in a jumper. That allows them the option to wear their dress after the baptismal ordinance. It is also a simpler option, as she won’t have to worry about the dress floating up or the hassle of changing out of a wet dress into a dry one.
