Christening Help Me Anyone!!!?

Question

I got invited to a Christening, for a baby girl who I watched for 2 months. The mother and I became close through my boyfriend, we recently broke up. Im still invited to the Christening as well as the reception. Not sure if I should go to both or just the church. Im fine with seeing my boyfriend but I don't know if it would be awkward at the reception.

Answer 1

i think you should go to both and if its too awkward you can just leave early because you feel sick. and just dont worry about it and have fun. =]

Answer 2

Since you have been invited to both functions, then you should attend both.  The relationship with boyfriend is over by your own admission.

Answer 3

It's rude when people get invited to a function that includes a church ceremony and they don't show up. It looks bad if you just show up to the reception. Go to both and leave early if you should feel uncomfortable.

Answer 4

I would definitely go to the Christening out of courtesy.  

It would probably be weird at the reception though - if you only know her through your ex, you probably won't have people to talk to if you went... So I'd excuse myself for not attending that "due to other commitments", unless she insists that you attend it too.

Answer 5

If you are uncomfortable, just go to the church- it's a holy event and that's the important part!
