A 'friend' of mine has had her son christened. We were invited although I dont really know her that closely even though we have known each other a long time IYSWIM. So I sort of feel that we were invited to make up numbers and gifts!
Anway, the invite came with a three page booklet and invitation. Details on what to get her son for his present. They have asked for money.
After listening to her go on about finding the 'perfect' church for the day (I thought a child was christening in your parish church) and crow about how shes not religious anyway, I find asking for money really crass. At ever other christening Ive been to, the guests have given religious items or books.
AIBU or is this the done thing now
ps. I bought the child an illustrated bible.
