Christening Party

Christening is the name given to observances surrounding the welcoming of children into the Christian Faith. It is an entrance rite into the religion, into the specific congregation and into the community of Christian Worldwide.

Normally christening refer to baptism for infants and young children.

The term baptism and christening are often used interchangeably when speaking of religious ceremony but one rarely hears any reference to a "baptismal party'. This is almost always called a "christening".

Infants—white christening dress (also called christening gown) for boy or girl. White is not a religious requirement but is the most common colour used. The christening garment should be as fine and well-made as the parents can comfortably afford. The style may be simple or ornate. Natural fibres and handmade garments have been preferred traditionally but etiquette does not frown on well-made synthetics.

Some christening parties are huge parties that are hosted at the home of the parents or at a rented party hall. Decorations, catering and formalities are needed for these sort of events. However, there are also smaller christening parties. In fact, the majority of baby christening are quite small. Some are held in a "Sunday School" room or hall in the back of the church where the baptism occurs. Tea, cookies and crackers are usually serves to the congregations, friends and family members.
The most common christening party is somewhere in between. They are usually gatherings of friends and family members in the home of the parents immediately after a baptism. If the parents aren't home owners, a family member or friend will host the event to allow for the number of guests. Refreshments are served if the baptism finished after acceptable meal times. If the party is held during mealtimes, it's expected that a meal of some sort is served.
