I guess we could eat after? Like a late lunch at 2pm? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-blessingbaptism-or-other-religious-ceremony#post-1359262 Sun, 19 Jan 2014 08:20:20 +0000 Charm54 1359262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Her baptism was scheduled for last weekend . My mom and I planned and prepared brunch for 30 people... Then church was cancelled due to bad weather ! Luckily most people could still come to brunch. We rescheduled for next month so hopefully Mother Nature cooperates! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-blessingbaptism-or-other-religious-ceremony#post-1359256 Sun, 19 Jan 2014 08:07:39 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1359256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>75% of the grandparents live out of town and while they may meet our LO before his/ her first birthday I will not encourage them to all come at once. We will likely have the Baptism coincide with the baby's first birthday. Lunch will likely be served.</p> <p>@anonysquire: If you hold a breakfast or brunch before the ceremony do you think you will be rushed/ late for the ceremony? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-blessingbaptism-or-other-religious-ceremony#post-1359210 Sun, 19 Jan 2014 03:11:40 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1359210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had her blessing at 7 months. We flew to my mom's to be with my friends and family, especially so that my grandma would be able to witness it.</p> <p>The blessing was at a little chapel and the party was at my mom's house. Most of the food was catered, with some specialty dishes made by family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-blessingbaptism-or-other-religious-ceremony#post-1359192 Sun, 19 Jan 2014 00:41:34 +0000 MaisyMay 1359192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had her dedication at 6 months and just invited the pastor and his wife to join our family as a local restaurant. It was casual and low pressure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-blessingbaptism-or-other-religious-ceremony#post-1359176 Sun, 19 Jan 2014 00:07:08 +0000 anonysquire 1359176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When did you start planning details for your religious ceremony for baby? Due date is March 17 and Baby Blessing will be May 4th. I just totally remembered that I actually need to feed the guests! We have a late church time too (1PM) so should I do brunch before or something after? Oh decisions decisions!!!! </p>
