Sounds like a christening? I did my daughters at 7 weeks. Pick a date by this weekend because its really easy to procrastinate and next thing you know months have passed. His parents probably have nothing to focus on at this time, but they mean well.

Can you tell them to back off? Getting a child blessed needs to obviously be done but not just cause grandparents want it. Doing it means you are making a promise to God that you will raise your child in Christ and lead him in learning about and growing their own relationship with the Lord. So it kind of needs to be when you're ready. Hubby and i need to do it with our son too, we just haven't had a chance yet cuz we've been moving. Just pray and ask God for guidance on the matter.

Why not go ahead and let them plan it for you.. pass ALL THE STRESS over to them.

Ya I agree with ^^ if they want to do it why not just let them? I understand how stressful life can be with a new baby...why not just let them take some of the stress?

@crisjoe thats wat I was thinking.. but everyone pay.for themselves... what u do for the favors?.u.make an invite??

Crisjoe

I planned everything rather quickly. We got married 1-1-11 and I wanted the same date for her christening, 1-1-12. She wasis 7 weeks old. Had 6 days to put everything together so didn't do invitations. For favors I had dressed up candles encrusted with pearl- like coating placed on everyone's plate. Its something they can use and its similar to our wedding favors, but you can get some picture frames or something at the dollar store.
