christening - how much?

We need to start planning our son's christening soon, but money's pretty tight and we have a big family.
Anyone have any idea of the usual costs for a christening, or any ideas how to keep the budget down?
Any christening advice appreciated!!!

  • We didn't get either of ours christened, but my Auntie had her two boys done together and for the church, and a place for the drinks and buffet etc was just over ??300 I think she said.

  • Hi, my sister & I recently had a joint Christening for our boys. The main expense is the function room & buffet which was around ??250 (for 70 people)...one of the Nans made the fruit cakes which we iced ourselves & we madesome muffins for those who don't like fruit cake. I spent ??10 on a helium balloon decoration. Both babies wore family gowns so no money spent there.
