Christening Favours
in Baby
Its my LO christening on the 15th of Aug in Italy. There it is traditional to give each of the guests a favour, the same sort of thing you would give at a wedding.
The Christenings favours we have recieved in the past have been really naff or very Italian.I want something that reflects that Emilia is part English and that people can keep.
Anyone any ideas? So far all I can think of are flower seeds, but as the climate is very hot where we live most of what I can get wont survive over there.
Thanks
