Churches articulate that the collections they receive are allocated for pastoral works. Please be sensible in realizing how church works and how important their ministry is towards the christening of your child. Traditionally, the white color represents purity and worthiness in the presence of God. Talk to your parish priest who has a good opinion on the issue of the color of baptismal garment on the ceremony. Good negotiations and referrals from your parish priest will provide clearer expectation and understanding on the questions.
Baptism has the real family feel to it.
Invite the whole clan, if possible. When choosing the reception place, do not forget to check the availability of the changing room. Changing nappy and breastfeeding sessions for both you and your guests with babies will be hassle-free with the convenient rooms nearby ready to use. It is nice to have someone giving the toast. The grandfather is the ideal person.
