christening plans
ok got this all done in the last 2 weeks- hard to get things done with my little one!!
- ceremony is set. Will be at a church w/ the priest that married us.He will do the blessing/baptism
..plus with a cantor who will officiate and cover the Jewish ceremony. For girls, it is a baby-naming ceremony- her name is proclaimed to the attendees- in Hebrew.
- Deposit at restaurant. We went with a China Buffet place that has a separate party room.
With about a head count of 60 people, all who eat different things, we felt this was our best option.
Plus it will cost us about 55% of what the other places were quoting.
- Invites? wanted to do something online but hubby said it would take too much time and use up too much color ink-hehe. So I have to pick up plain invites and fill out the info. Will have an insert explaning the interfaith ceremony and have directions to the church and restaurant.
- FAVORS??? don't know what to do. Like the idea of the candy wrappers. Is that a separate publishing program that needs to be uploaded? Anyone have any information on this?
....
Otherwise any other ideas for PRACTICAL favors??
I hate to spend the $$ and the time and it winds up a dust collector or in the trash.
(for my baby shower my sil-s wound up getting a great deal on beautiful picture frames and gave them as favors)
Outfit? I 'THINK' I found the christening outfit that I wore...will have to try it on Julianne to see if it fits now let alone will fit her in April!
Feedback?
