My dads family had a reunion at the beach house last summer, so we planned for DS to get baptized at the church there.
It was a beautiful private ceremony on my parents' wedding anniversary, which was also the same day I was baptized many years ago
After we had a cookout at the house in the courtyard with finger sandwiches and snacks indoors. It was so much fun.

ETA - I printed invites and sent them to family, close friends and a few of our neighbors from down the beach.

We are getting DS baptized next week! We had the option of doing it in Mass, but opted for private due to scheduling. We invited all of mine and DH's close family (parents, siblings, aunts/uncles, cousins who live close enough to come) plus our close friends. It's about 60 people total. We will have lunch right after. My IL's wanted to have it catered so we're letting them (buffet style, nothing too fancy). However, typical baptisms in my family would serve lighter fare- veggie tray, lunch meat/sandwich stuff, snack food, and a cake. Catering is considered over the top by my family and friends for it, but IL's really wanted it and you have to pick your battles. We would have the lunch after at our home, but we have a small apartment. We had a to rent a small hall because our church doesn't have a space for it.
