Interesting to read about Christenings, and the gifts received because of them. In my faith, we don't have Christenings, and therefore no gifts associated with that. I still think some new baby gifts, whether by shower, or given when one visits the new baby, are nice. To be sure, I don't know how kids will truly feel, about such things when they look at their baby books. I'm coming from the point of view of what some kids might feel, and since I came from a somewhat dysfunctional family, and carry many childhood hurts, I sense more keenly, the need to be kind to children, therefore my feelings about giving them new gifts when they're born. Respectfully, Mary MOB

in my culture we dont do baby showers, so my mother didnt have one for me and i am more than fine with it lol. I dont think ive ever even thought about it. Of course i go by american traditions alot so i will have a baby shower for my first one. However, for my christening, i know my parents had a big party at a restaurant. People give very well at the christening. Many give the way they would at a wedding and give lets say $200 and up. So although not every child will get a shower, they will get alot of money from the christening for the parents to be able to buy new things. Its also usually a very big party and most christenings ive been to are about 200 people or more.

i say yes to a second baby shower.......trends change depending on how long in between you have your kids.. also if you have a boy and are having a girl u need girly stuff!!!

i say a sprinkle for the second is fine!!

ill be throwing sprinkles for my friends when they have their 2nds 3rds and even 4ths!!!!!!!

kind of tacky

maybe just a card shower if people maybe want to buy some gift cards or something

in the end i guess it all works out haha. Either you get a 2nd baby shower or you get money at a christening to buy things for the baby. For the orthodox religion the godparents pay for the whole christening so it is alot of responsibility for them. ALSO the mother doesnt get to be there at the church, the godparents come after to the house and present her with her baptised kid. That part S*CKS though, bc you cant even be there for it lol.
