Chrstening Advice

[bootiful]

My daughter is 9.5 months and I was wanting to have her christened when she is a year old.

The only problem is I am not christened. Does this matter. If so how do I go about getting christened. I'm 25 and I don't really know what it involves. My husband wont shift his butt into gear to help so I guess I'll have to find out the info on my own.

Hope you lovely bubhubbers can help.

Thanks :thumbsup:

Tom was christened Uniting church, they didn't ask if we were or not, all that matterd was that we wanted Tom to be.

It's not really a huge deal (although we sorta went nuts and filled the church) all you need is the minister, God parents and a cake :laughing:

You say about 3 lines, actually the same line 3 times. Then draw a cross on bubs head and light a candle.

I had Bug christened at Wesley Uniting Church in the city. They didn't care that I wasn't christened but even asked whether I wanted to share the day with Bug. I declined the offer but that was more so that the day was for Bug alone!

We then had a lunch for everyone in Morley afterwards and a bit of a do that night with the family for dinner! We are not the type to have big parties for occasions (except her birthday) but it was still a lovely day!

We had DS christened greek orthodox and my DH had to supply his baptism cert from the greek church and I had to be an "accepted" religon of the orthodox church (im anglican and this was fine).

It depends what church u want ur child christened in. Most churches are fine with the fact that the parent/s aren't christened themselves. Best to just ring ur local church and arrange a meeting.

we had ds1 dedicated rather then christened. i wasnt christened (mum was told by a priest she was a disgrace to society for being a single mum with 2 daughters :() but DP was. so it was more important to Dp's family then mine. so we had a dedication and its pretty much the same thing as a christening just more low key.
