I wore a dress. It was knee length and drapey to hide my PP sins
We had a bounce house and I set up an activity table with coloring books, sidewalk chalk, bubbles, etc.
Caramel and candy apples were our favors

I wore awrap around dress and my husband wore a suit. I did not hire entertainment. We had the party at my mother's house, we had a bbq and our friends chatted. We did candy bars with personalized wrappers for my daughter's and for my son's we had kisses and miniature hersheys with personalized wrappers as well.

I wore a sundress with a sweater- it was early October- and DH wore a suit. We didn't have any entertainment. The party was at my IL's house/backyard so we just had a table set up with activities for the kids. Favors were chocolate crosses and candles.

I wore a capsleeved blue dress for DS#1 and I have no clue what I'm wearing for DS#2. lol

we booked the same entertainment for both: Party with Marty & Iris. Its a magic show and face painting.

for DS #1 we did treat bags with a chocolate lollipop, cookie and chocolate covered oreos.

For DS#2 we are also going to do treat bags with 4 oreo truffles, cake pop, chocolate covered oreo and chocolate dipped pretzels and a donation to LUNGevity for my mom and our uncle who DS is named for.

Im not Catholic but for DD's baptism last week I wore a white dress fitted, knee lenght-- DH wore a dark suit.

We had the after party at a restaurant and although I went back and forth considering hiring a face painter etc for the kids space was an issue so ultimatly we didnt.

Favors were a candy buffet.. it was a huge hit!

For my DS's Christening, I was preggo, so I wore a loose maternity gown that was light purple-grey.

I haven't bought my dress for DD's yet.

No favors this time. Last time we had chocolate crosses.

I wore a form fitting dress that came a little above knee. It was sleeveless & showed minor cleavage Chat Icon DH wore a suit.
We didn't have entertainment, we had the celebration in an Italian restaurant.
We did not do favors.

For DS #1 - I wore a black wrap dress (late fall) and for DS#2 I wore basic black knee length dress.

We had smaller parties (under 40 ppl) for both boys so we didn't have entertainment and we did individually wrapped cookie favors.
