We're wanting to have our son Christened. Whats the best way to go about it and how can we make it FABULOUS?!

Answer 1

If you want to have your son Christened for the sake of your religion, then the Christening is "fabulous" because of the new relationship your son will grow into with Christ. (By the way, that's where the word 'Christened' comes from). If you're worried about making it "fabulous" outside of what the event is, then I suggest you rent a huge catering hall, a band or DJ, have a naked baby jump out of a cake, and invite the media.

Answer 2

What the...? You can make it 'fabulous' by valuing the belief and upholding it and guiding him, so that when he's old enough he'll be able to appreciate being christened in that faith you chose for him. God doesn't care about your organising a big party, but if it's what you have to do then you'll make it as fabulous as you want it, coz I guess your kid is too young to tell you what kind of celebration he'd want? I live in Poland, mostly Catholics of course, the christening takes place during a regular Sunday Mass so the whole community is involved, then the close family go off for a nice meal somewhere and some gifts are usually given. For Catholics it's First Communion that's more important. I don't know about C of E as I was brought up Catholic myself :)

Answer 3

Have a great party, invite all your friends, give great presents and record it all to prove to everyone how great a day it was. Cobblers, see a local priest, make arrangements, ask your two best friends to stand as God-parents, attend on the day, get the child baptised and Christened and say a few prayers. Nothing fabulous about it, merely a welcoming to the church........... The money you save on it not being a fabulous day, make a donation to charity............

a million) i became taught to hate the Catholic church. as quickly as I stumbled on that a number of what i became taught became a damned lie (actually), i began out finding to be certain what Else i might been lied to approximately. So, one reason could be that I have been given ticked off. 2) I rebelled against the thought church homes might desire to and can chop up over stupid issues, (i.e. no longer sufficient classic hymns, too many hymns, the adolescents Minister's spouse wore white shoes after hard artwork Day) and congregations might desire to fireplace Pastors at will. Sheep do no longer fireplace Shepherds except they pick a destiny as wolf excreta. 3) Protestant coaching ignores the historical past of the Church. there's a techniques too lots wealth there to be left out. The latter is possibly the main important clarification for me. it particularly is a cliche by using now, yet Roman Catholicism is the "fullness of the religion." ---- Sparki: Bingo! the owner/Operator of the nonetheless Small Voice is rather clever. The "coaching" I have been given became: "learn extra proper to the Catholic Church"...which I did and am doing; and what i'm discovering is conclusive. Had the coaching been, "connect the Catholic Church," i might have suggested, "ok, it somewhat is not any longer of God using fact He'd on no account tell me to try this!" i assume it somewhat is why it somewhat is His call and not mine on the church sign. hmmm. "Saint Tolstoyevski?"

Answer 5

1. carry a life jacket in the church. He may need it when he gets dropped in the font :-)
2. Don't forget, you may be wrong so placate the other gods and godesses as well. Take his/her measure with a red thread then if male, cut off the end of his penis. That should keep everybody happy.

Alternatively, just hold a party to welcome another increase in the already wildly excessive world population.

Answer 9

I do not believe in this practice. Then, I am not a Christian. But, isn't this suppose to something holy, and a moment between your family and G-d? Why make it anymore than something quietly special? That is not what it is all about.
