Christening
We would like to get our lo christened and want to start planning it after christmas. However we have never organised a christening before and are not sure what needs doing. Is it just as simple as book church, book function room, book buffet, buy robe and buy cake? Could people let me know what they did for their los and if they wouldnt mind rough costs for things? I have no idea how much its gonna cost us.

We've moved since getting married so are not going to use the same church but would like to get her christened in the church we were both christened in. Is it the same as getting married - you have be be on the church electrol roll?
Evies getting christened in the church where we got married but we no longer live in the area what you have to do is ring the church you want ask their permission then they give you a form to take to the church where you live and you have to get their permission xxxx
We didnt do anymore as we didnt think a dj would make much difference, didnt have room for a bouncy castle (and Ollie doesnt like them anyway) and had about 200 people coming (ended up being about 150 or something i think) so had to invite them all and get rsvps etc... and didnt have any room left in thehall once they were all in
It was a lovely day, and everyone enjoyed talking and catching up with each other. the kids ran round the tables or sat down to eat food, which was a fantastic spread, and they all said they'd had a good time.

We had Joe baptised three weeks ago on sunday, and had a very different day. We decidied to keep things very small about 20 people. We went to our parish church and then had everyone back to our house, i did the buffet and we all had a lovely day. Erin was very much involved too so that was nice. On the night we invited all our friends round and had a little party and got a bit tipsy! LOL!
Both were lovely days, It can be as simple or lavish as you wish...
Godd luck planning you lo's special days. x
