Christenings

I know it is a bit early to think about Christenings - but I am trying to work on a detailed budget to see how long I can take off from work.

So some quick questions - where did you ladies hold your baby's Christening? Did you invite children?

Thanks Ladies!

You can actually plan the date pretty far in advance with the Church. We booked Molly's christening in Sept- 2 months before she was even born!

I invited only 30 people total to the Christening. We kept it small. I did have a few small children attend. Molly's christening was at the Old Street Pub in Smithtown.
IMO- if you have a chose between a big fancy christening or 2 more weeks home with your baby- stay home longer!!!! Have a smaller christening and stay home as long as you can.

We had a small Baptism too. We had about 25 people in my sisters house, I then had it catered. We decided we will have a big blow-out for his 1st birthday, because by then I will be back to work

Thank you Stacey and Michele - I am leaning towards a small Christening too.

My DH's family is used to large affairs, but I am hoping that once I work the numbers out I will be able to convince my DH to have something small with just immediate family.
