Christening party things to provide?

Question

After the service theres going to be a small party afterwards for friends and family to meet up.

I've got a patio table & chairs hopefully nice weather for it

Lots of buffet food

Wine, Beer, tea, coffee, pop

christening cake

should i get banners and balloons or is that over the top? Add idea's if you like!

Answer 1

I would get some balloons, it's a party after all. Banners, that just a personal opinion, I didn't have them when we had my daughter's Christening.

If you having other kids, don't forget to pick up a few things to keep them busy. The dollar stores has fun toys for that (bubbles, bat & ball, crayons & colloring book, etc.)

Answer 2

That sounds like more than enough. When my boy was baptized I had a little party in the church basement and had mini quiches, rolls and danishes and donuts, juice and coffee, and people commented on how elegant it was.

Answer 3

Yes, why not get balloons & banners if you want to...after all it is a celebration.

Answer 4

Yes I think you should get banners and balloons! We had two great parties after our children were christened!
