Re: baptism...is this okay....
I guess I still think it should all be in one day but if that's your only option so be it.

Re: baptism...is this okay....
I agree with Jen, I'd do it all in one day. Why can't you have everyone to your house or one of your parents houses?
IMO it's selfish to expect people to use 2 days for this. Even if I was the godparent I'd be annoyed. Between showers, graduations, christenings, communions, confirmations, weddings, bachelor/ette parties and my own son's first birthday we have at least one party, and some weekends 2 EVERY weekend in May and June and almost every one in July.
Don't get me wrong, everyone is excited to meet your baby, but unfortunately many times we have other babies to meet and other friends and relatives to celebrate as well.
Again, JMO.

JMO, I think it should be all in one day. Like someone posted, it is a busy season (Communions, Graduations, showers, etc) you may get people comming to the church and then not the party or vice versa....again JMO.

Re: baptism...is this okay....
I was going to split mine up as well. Turns out, its going to be easier to have one big party. I have an overhang on my patio and we rented a canopy with 2 sides, tables and chairs. Im praying so hard the weather is gorgeous. Just having the heroes, salads and cake..Maybe 1 or 2 hot dishes. No cooking for me!

I agree, it will be easier on you also to do it in one day instead of spreading it out..
Save the big party for the 1st birthday you can have more fun with the baby then!
