Summer is christening season

04 Jul 2008

Summer is christening season and Gavin Henson and Charlotte Church's recent blessing of baby Ruby is just the start.

MyBabyCelebration.co.uk advises new parents to send out their invitations in plenty of time and also to set a formal style and dress code as this will give a sense of occasion to the event.

It reminded hosts that they and the baby will be the centre of attention and will need to look their best, adding that parents should ensure they have a comfortable way of holding their child for photographs.

"Most celebrities choose traditional christening gowns or cute sailor outfits for their babies to distinguish them from the other children," the firm stated. "A knee-length dress/coat ensemble for mummy and a smart non-work suit for daddy usually works well."

The best christening parties have simple decorations, caterers, children's entertainers and party bags for the little ones, it added.

Welsh couple Charlotte and Gavin held their party in a large marquee at their Vale of Glamorgan home, reported the Daily Mail.
