Me and my partner are from different countries and both our families live there. We live in uk with our newborn and wondering where to do his christening (this is important for both families).
We don’t want to do in uk as we don’t have anyone here, and between Both countries we thought was best to do it in partner country as its the first baby in his family and the great grandparents cannot travel. My family has already 5 children and everyone can travel.
I shared this idea with my family and no one supported or was against, but my mum later told me that my sisters and brothers in law all said that if we go ahead no one will attend. They will only if it’s in my home country or in uk. This made me really sad and at the same time made reinforce the initial plan, feeling that if they don’t want to make the effort they don’t deserve to be present on that day.
Would you keep the plan or change it?
