Christening question...how many people at church?

On your invite, did you list the church and party, or just the party? How many people came to the church?

It seems like a lot of people want to come to the church for DD Baptism. I think that is wonderful and so kind of them, but I don't want to be odd by having a crowd! Then again, it's a wonderful celebration and it's not like my family/friends will be disruptive! The only other Baptism I've been do have been out of state, so only the godparents and grandparents came.

Last time I spoke to the church, DD was the only one being Baptized that day but that could have changed.

I listed both but I would say there were under 30 at the church. There were 65 or so at the party.

I put both on the invitation. I had around 100 guests at the party and about 30 at the church as well. There were 2 other babies making their christening that day and they had a crowd with them too.

Re: Christening question...how many people at church?

We didn't have a limit as to the number of people we could invite. We got 2 church pews for immediate family and then the rest of our family/friends had to sit towards the back of the church.

Our invitations had the time and date of the ceremony and then "reception immediately follows at..."
