For those that had or will have a christening...

... what time will your party start? We just got an invitation to a christening for the child of a good friend of ours, and the party starts so late we can't bring DS with us so we have to find a babysitter. I was just wondering if anyone else finds it unusual (party is from 6PM to 10PM on a Sunday). It's also about 45 minutes from our house.

Our Baptism is at 10:30am with lunch to follow - It's on a Saturday.

6:00pm sounds kind of late for a Christening.

It doesn't matter for me but they want us to bring DS and we just can't do it with it being so late.

Our baptism starts at 2:00 and the party is from 4-8. I also think that is very late.

I recently went to a christining that late - I took my daughter with me even though she usually goes to sleep at 7 - she was really good actually - we left around 9 - she fell asleep in the car and I put her right in the crib when we got home and she was fine for the night.

christening is during service which starts at 11am, refreshments immediately after in the family life center, then a BBQ at our house after that.....I guess it'll be around 2pm by the time we get home and it goes till whenever

I def. find that odd...

Our party was @ 1 (but any family or friends that were at the church we invited to come early...)

Re: For those that had or will have a christening...

I definitely agree that it's a bit late. Our Christening is at 11 and the party immediately follows at 11:30 until 1:30. Short and sweet.

Re: For those that had or will have a christening...

Our party will start late also- 5:30, but this is because the restaurant only had 12-4 or 6-10 hours. The Church is at 2pm, so we really had no choice. I wasn't too thrilled with it being that late, but what can you do...

We had a hard time figuring out a restaurant with the timing of the church - I think the ceremony was over at 2:30 - and we needed to find a restuarant that is open at 3ish.

My party started at 3pm - immediately following the church ceremony.

I have been to christenings that started that late but they were Greek christenings with bit parties afterwards.

Our ceremony is from 2-3. The party is from 3:30 - 7:30.

Our church does the ceremony outside of mass-- they said too many regular churchgoers were complaining when it was done during regular mass!

The Christening itself is at 1:30, we are having the party from 3:30-7:30.. perfect for the kiddies..
