Budget for small christening

[SmashedPumpkin321]

We are hoping to have our DD christened in the summer, restrictions permitting. It would be quite small, about 25 people. We are thinking either buffet in village hall afterwards or a cafe for afternoon tea. What should we be budgeting for the whole thing?

The cost of the hall hire, plus a few trays of sandwiches from Costco. You might need to persuade somebody to do the teas as well.

But then there's the dress, and cake, donation etc and probably a few more things I'm not thinking of.
