Personalised Irish Baby Blessing Print, Go maire tú an céad, Christening or New Baby Gift, Custom Name, Digital Download

A personalised Irish blessing for a new baby or a christening: the child’s name, the date, and a short wish in Irish that is actually in the dictionaries. The main line is Go maire tú an céad — May you live to be a hundred. A thoughtful nursery or godparent gift, and a keepsake that still makes sense when Christmas is over.

★ THIS IS A DIGITAL DOWNLOAD – NO PHYSICAL ITEM WILL BE SHIPPED ★
No print, frame or paper is posted to you. I make your personalised files and send them to you on Etsy, and you print them yourself.

HOW PERSONALISATION WORKS
1. Type the child’s name in the personalisation box, exactly as you want it, with any fadas. Add the occasion (new baby, christening or baptism), the date or dates, and your colour: Parchment, Slate or Minimal.
2. I create your print and send the files to you through Etsy within 24 hours (1 business day). Etsy emails you when they are ready, and you will find them under You > Purchases.
3. Download, print at home or at any print shop, and frame.

WHAT YOU GET

THE IRISH ON THE PRINT
Every Irish line is checked against the dictionaries focloir.ie and teanglann.ie, fadas included.
• Go maire tú an céad — May you live to be a hundred (Ó Dónaill). This line uses “you”, so it is the same for a boy or a girl.
• Go saolaí Dia thú — God grant you long life (Ó Dónaill), if you ask for it.
• Baisteadh — baptism, also used for a christening.
The name is printed exactly as you type it. If you would like the Irish form of the name as well, tell me in the box.

• Colours may look slightly different on screen and in print.

For the child’s name in Ogham, see my Personalised Ogham Name Print — the two sit nicely together in a nursery.
