i'm thinking of getting our little one christened, but to be honest dont know where to start, how much does it cost for the church etc etc..
We had a gown made for the girls out of the train from my wedding dress but bought Archie a silk romper with jacket attached.
one of the reasons for christening them was it was a chance to get family and friends together and it was something that my hubby believes is important.
Lin like you say it helped us get the girls in our village school which is a church school and requires them to be christened..
We made the service very personal and had the traditional god parents but added poems read by friends that made the day a mixture of religion and not...
It doesn't cost anything to join any faith, but in most catholic & C of E expect some kind of "donation" for their time, as well as something for the church too, this can be anything from ??5 to ??100. what ever you feel you want to give. we gave ??20 each time. just ring up your local church or speak to the father/vicar after a sunday service and tell them you would like to get your lo christened.
I got a suit for daniel which cost ??30 & Joe's cost ??45. i bought a shawl and got both of their christening dates and names on it & if we have any more kids we'll use it again.
The food i did my own buffet/cake for 90 people and hired the local labour club and cost about ??150 for both... & thats for just my family and a few friends! lol )
we had a lovely day both times, lovely to see all the family together. even if people aren't religous i think everyone should have a get together to celebrate a new life in the whole. xxxx
it didnt cost nothing for church just the after party which we had at a pub due to small house and less hassel for us this cost us 130 for 30 people
they were so rude to me. I explained that i wasnt currently attending church but would like whats best for my son and they were so rude to me and insinuated that i was just doing it for 'the party' and mentioned that i obviously didnt know what a christening was for!.. .....
he had me in tears by the end of the conversation! both me and my husband were both christened so we just wanted to know more about it and they refused to help.
not the kind of attitude i would expect from a church!
sorry to bring a downer story to the listing!
