Kimbo - as clearly stated, it is my OH's birthday on the same day as our son's christening so naturaly people will want to wish him a happy birthday. We have a lot of family coming (that are close and personnal) that we havnt seen in years therefore we are having 2 celebrations in 1. I feel as though you are judging me here which is a little unfair! Also if we want to spend that kind of money (just becuase we can) and have a big celebration that is our choice! It doesnt make us terrible people just becuase we have decided to make is a big event of it so id appreciate it if you diddnt make me sound as if im being selfish and putting my son last just becuase we are joint celebrating my OH's birthday and adults happen to be coming!
Just to clear up any further missunderstanding :-
1) we are Itlain and in italy Christening's are celebrated in a big way (the same as weddings i suppose)
2) This isnt a drunken adults party (people have respect) the Italian band is only for 4 hrs therfore the music stops and people will steadily make there way home as this is maily for the christening.
3) There happens to be a birthday cake and a happy birthday banner for my OH big wow.
4) just becuase we decided to spend a lot of money and invite a lot of people doesnt make this celebration just for adults neither does it make it less personnal as 80 people out of 90 happen to be family that we havnt seen for many years and we want to reunite evryone again.
