Christening Gown dilema

5 replies

AMR73 · 14/05/2013 22:38

Baby due to be christened shortly. Husband would like baby to wear his family's Christening Gown but my Mother wants baby to wear her family Christening Gown. I would rather not have to choose between the two and instead get a new Christening Gown but both Husband and Mother are saying that I should use theirs (I am feeling caught in the middle). Any advice would be appreciated please.

I would get a professional photo of LO wearing both gowns to give to Mother and DH and buy something new.

I had a similar dilemma. DD was 8 months old when the christening took place so MIL's gown was too small but my family's gown fitted perfectly -- but she wore the pretty lacy petticoat from MIL's gown underneath. Both Mothers were happy!

My DC wore both. Boys had paternal robe on outside, girl the maternal one.
