To be miffed at "Gift list for mother of the baby" enclosed in *Baby naming ceremony* invitation?

So some close friends (who married in church), but now claim to be atheist are holding a naming ceremony for their 8 month old first baby in an hotel.....

The invitation is beautiful with a map, timings "event closes at 11pm"?

The gift list ranges from £30-to £300, all items for the mother, cosmetics, trinkets, jewellery, pampering breaks, personalised hand-bound stationery and photo albums...

Anybody know the drill for these naming ceremonies? Are we supposed to guess a gift for the baby? Or just congratulate the mother for deciding on a name?

I have read this a dozen times and am staggered beyond belief-DP read it and fell into hysterics....

My gut tells me to go along with Jo Malone scented nappies or something.

Somebody please tell me this is not normal?!?!?!

I'm guessing the only thing that could possibly be BETTER than getting engaged and being a godparent would be to be in Mumsnet Classics, yes? Wink

Just want to check with you whether that's OK, as this thread may make you a bit identifiable - let us know what you think.

Many congratulations from us here at MNHQ

Hi there,

Thanks for the reports, we've moved this to Classics now.
