Organising a Christening

Oh it will definitely be all about our son! We have a family christening gown, that his dad, his uncle, his granny, his great uncle and his great granny have all worn, so outfit is all sorted. Mother in law is a baker, so she is making his cake and lots of other sweet treats.

We want it to be a brilliant celebration due to everything we've been through with our son and we want it to be a chance to thank our friends and family for all their support, so a little about the guests too.

MrsCraig how about a thank you board with pictures of family and guests if have any

Ann1984 oh that's a brilliant idea! I love it, plus wouldn't take too much time, effort or money!

MrsCraig and no one would expect it either you seem to have everything else covered

Ann1984 they certainly wouldn't! I hope so! I've got plenty time to organise it and my MIL and granny will help too.

Wow sounds fab! My mother in law is making his cake and other wee sweet treats. We are in Scotland and the christening will be in Northern Ireland so we are having it in a hotel so they can do most of the decorating and the food for us. I've seen some ribbon which can be personalised so going to use that for his favours.

MrsCraig ah yeah we had some personalised banners off anazon with her name and that on but when they arrived they looked a different colour so i emailed the seller and they gave me a refund

CathSho13 yeah I've seen stuff like that. I plan on getting some of those too, although my husband might have to put his foot down to stop me going overboard!

CathSho13 did you just buy tags and write on them or did you order personalised ones from somewhere?

MrsCraig i just bought personalised ones off ebay they were only a couple of quid. My handwriting is awful

CathSho13 I never thought to look on eBay for personalised stuff. My handwriting isn't too bad, but I guarantee I would get annoyed having to write so many tags!
