Christening Advice?

hi there

our TTC didn't quite work out. we have no adopted a beautiful baby girl who is the centre of our world.

now, we are looking at schools among a thousand other things. the wait was so long, we forgot once it was over, life resumes and there is quite a bit of admin afterwards. we are also looking for non-denominational priest/pastor/church in Joburg for a christening. does anyone have any recommendations?

also looking for reviews/advice on schools - private and public, girls and co-ed.

at our church christening is the last sunday of every month.
my lb is now 11 wks old and i am planning to do his christening end june.

All our friends has tea and cake the afternoon of the christening for close friends and family,so i am planning the same.
my problem is with the budget always being tight and with everything that is so expensive who do you invite and who not?

See they are only in Cape Town

Does anyone know of someone similar in JHB?

Thanks!

Huggles - go to www.christenings.co.za it is a hsuband and wife who are both ministers - the hsuband, Andred, did both my and my sister's wedding ceremonies and he baptised my sisters children. He does BEAUTIFUL ceremonies - I would ask for him, not sure about the wife as I have never witnessed any of her ceremonies, but I can HIGHLY recommend him.

Good luck

Hi Charnenay,

Please can you send me that guy's details. Our lo is due in Sept and we will most probably have the same problem. Definitely want to christen baby but not sure where so will be nice to have options. I'll PM you my e-mail address.

Thanks everyone.

I think i'll start enquiring at my moms church as its the most recent church we've been to. The minister there knows our family as he did my bro's wedding recently. We'll see what he suggests.

i wanted to do it soon so that hubby's family could be there, but we have run out of time & don't have the finances before they all immigrate to the UK.... oh well!

Thanks charnenay, but we actually live in Pta and all our family are in KZN.

Thanks ladies...
