I'm Currently Feeling:  | For a Girl by my knowledge they are allowed 2 females and one male. For a boy they are allowed 2 males and 1 female. Some churches have restrictions when christening I think. Best to ask. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I think in the traditional sense its 2 men & a woman for a girl & the other way around for a boy
