Opinions please....christening dress for Amelia
Hiya
Really excited as we have booked Amelias christening. We have for all 4 had HUGE parties costing a couple of grand with champagne flowing etc.... this time though i want a nice intimate affair. We have booked a country house for just my sisters and families, my brother, MIL and FIL and OH sis and her family. Only 20 in total. Pimms on arrival, 5 course sunday lunch in a private room just for us lot and wine and chamagne aplenty. Because I hardly see my family I just wanted to be sat round a big table with the ones I love most. Lauren and Chris my 17 and nearly 15 year old are godparents. Also my BIL as he is so good with the kids and really helps out when I home for summer.
Anyway, to the point....... hopefully the link will take you to a dress I like. i dont like long, paegent type dresses. I want something she can wear again and wear to a wedding the week after.

Lucas' dedication is in 2 weeks and I'm so excited! We're going for the full works. He's wearing the family gown, we ordered a cake (from my OH's aunt who designs cakes for a living...she did our wedding one too) and we are having a buffet! Most of it we are doing ourselfs like my hubbys aunt doing the cake, we are doing the catering, mil doing the flowers and my daddoing the ceremony.
Dee, that dress is lovely, looks a perfect choice so you can use it again. I'm jealous of all these mummies of girls (although I wouldn't swap my boy for anything)!
You will have to get pics up of Lucas on his big day. We have had all our kids baptised in same church called St marys which is in the doomsday book...that old!!!!!!!!!! We had our wedding blessed there too (married in st lucia)
Lara....when we had our first lauren we were skint..totally! We had a baptism and then told family and friends that we were going to a local hotel for sunday lunch and they were most welcome to join us but it was a pay for yourself job. most came and no one seemed to mind. It cost us relatively nothing! Still got presents too!!!!!!!!!!!

I would concentrate on moving at moment and you can get it done next year or later...no rush really! Lauren was about 9 months when I had her baptised.
