Generally the first person to speak to is your priest/pastor/minister. A Christening is more than just a party, it's about your children becoming part of God's family.

The first thing I did was contact my church(where I got married) & organised a date then I went in & talked with the priest & he met DD, I filled out the paperwork & that was that.
You give a donation on the day to the church.
After that it is up to you what you do to celebrate & how much you spend.
I made DD's little head band & socks & I made her christening cake.
Good Luck with it.

Yup, the first person to speak to is your Minister or Priest. I'd go fom there!

My DD was 5.5mths when she was christened so I got her a beautiful Victoria Rose Dress from Myer it was cream & I made her a beautiful headband out of a good quality stocking & a small cream rose.
If you have organised the church part & the Godparents there is not much more to it. Our church included a christening candle some do not so maybe look into that.
Other than all that it is just deciding what to have afterwards!!

Ummm I would put you kiddies in whatever you want!...it's such a special day.

Also maybe think about what time...what are good times for the kids, what sort of party you want after...
