Charlotte, the couple’s second child after Prince George and fourth in line to the throne, was born in London on May 2.
The queen, her husband Philip, Prince Charles and Camilla are expected join Kate’s family at the ceremony, along with the baby’s godparents, who have not yet been announced.
Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury, will conduct the ceremony.
William and Kate left London and traveled north shortly after the birth to their mansion in Sandringham, where they are expected to be based for the next few years.
