christening costs

[mum2A&L]

Im just being nosey - how much does it cost now days to get two christened at the same time?

I think it will just be a small family thing in june / july after this little one is here (me and my brother where 'done' at the same time and i think it will be nice for these two as well).

Im going to ask OH's mum if we can use her garden for a BBQ - that way OH's dad - who is separated from his mum, and is paralyzed) will be able to get into her garden. i don't think he would be able to get into my mum and dads.

My dads mate has a HUGE half drum bbq we can use. Between me and my close family we have 4 gazebos (sp) so weather shouldn't be a massive problem we have loads of garden furniture we can use as well...

we got all 3 of ours christened last Sept, the cost was:

£50 church donation
£8 invites (gorgeous personalised ones i had done on Ebay)
£50 clothes for all of us, we had some bits we didnt need to buy too though.
£8 cake, got a picture cake from Asda & had a photo of all 3 kids put on the cake in icing, done at Asda bakery.
£30 ish on food, we had a spread at ours after & my mum made a few things for us.

think thats it, we didnt have flowers, but luckily there had been a wedding the day before & we had lovely flowers along the Arch of the church outside left from the wedding & we all had our piccies taken under this
