Buffet? or maybe a big BBQ? ...

Thanks I think it will have to be a cheap and cheerful buffet - just need to find a large venue now!

With our eldest DS we had a christening here in UK and it was at a country pub with a buffet.
I didn't enjoy it that much due to family rowing etc

Second DS we had it in Italy (hubby is from there) and it was lovely ,booked a restaurant,20+ of us and set menu .

With this one it will be the same again,we had a wonderful experience there and so relaxed.

Oh my gosh you guys do Christenings wayyy different than over here!!

Here you just get the baby christened with immediate family(like aunts,uncles, grandparents), 2 Godparents...and then you go to someones house and have like finger foods for an hour or so. That's it. No hotels or buffets or anything.

I don't want to get the baby Christened because I know I'm not going to be raising her in the church. My parents will, so I'm letting them go up with her and make their promises and stuff.
