I am going to christening at the end of next month and I am not sure what the etiquette is. I have no idea what to wear ? I know it will be in church and so it will need to be fairly smart however evening wear would be too over the top for the afternoon tea party that follows. I hope that a flowery dress and cardigan will do the job and be the right thing for the occasion. Another thing I have to think about is the gift. I have found quite a few websites with ideas for baptism gifts but none of them are the sort of thing tat I want. I would really like something that is useful rather than decorative and I have to be careful that I do not get something which is likely to be a godparent gift rather than something that any old guest takes along! Also I know that silver is traditional but I am not sure if I can afford anything in silver! I have been considering getting some Christian clothing as it seems appropriate and is likely to be something that no one else will buy.
