We are getting our DD christened soon and decided that we are inviting our parents, siblings and god parents only, that amounts to 17 in total. The plan is to go for brunch at a lovely restaurant after the mass and it will all be pretty low key. We want to keep it small as a) there isn't room in the church for loads of guests plus the usual congregation (christening will form part of Sunday service) and b) the cost of catering for everyone! However I'm worried I'll upset the rest of my family by doing this (the ones who aren't invited!) if we were to invite the rest of the family and close friends we'd be looking at around 80 guests and that would put the whole thing on the same scale as our wedding! Is a big do the norm, do you invite your aunts, uncles, cousins etc? I really don't want to upset anyone, do you think they'll understand or should I just invite them all? Please help!
