christening opinions?

Who do you invite to a christening and to luncheon afterwards?

My house is small so a luncheon afterwards would need to be hosted elsewhere even if it's just our immediate families.

Re: christening opinions?

  • We lucky since milo was dunked on Easter. Just close family. Next baby will include some friends since friends will be the god parents. 
  • Whoever you want. Definitely grandparents, siblings and godparents. You can have something small or big. We have huge families so we had a luncheon with just our aunts and uncles and friends (we are all very very close). We opted not to have our cousins or it really would've been like 300 people. It was really nice.
  • I want tiny but DH thinks this is an event where you invite everyone (cousins, aunts, uncles, etc). I brought up that we'd need to lunch out because expense is a big reason why I want to keep it low-key. I'm getting frazzled thinking about it!

  • We did the two extremes - DS' christening was a huge deal at a large venue where we invited extended family and friends

    DD's christening was WAY smaller.  We just had immediate family (which still ended up being 25 people as I have six siblings, all married) and just had lunch at a local restaurant near the church.

    I preferred DD's
