Essentials for a Christening Party Location
Does it feel like you've been searching for a christening party venue for ages? Perhaps you don't have specific requirements or a clear vision. Know what you want from your party location, and Giggster will help you find it in no time.
Are you looking for christening party venues in the open? Does a restaurant with an outdoor patio sound better than a gazebo in a park? What features are you looking for in your open space? Lighting, AV system, table setups, and comfortable seating are some of the essentials for a successful christening party in the open.
Can you bring your own decor? Unless you are renting a private home where you have free rein, venues like restaurants, bars, and diners may have restrictions on the way you decorate the space. Discuss the possibility of bringing lighting, decor, flowers, and centerpieces to add a personal touch to your special day.
How do you envision the atmosphere? Many factors can influence the mood, from the food to the theme, the lighting, and the music. Whether you decide to go with a studio loft or a local restaurant near the church, visit the venue in person to find out if you like what you see.
Organizing a Christening Party
The perfect baptism party requires careful planning and attention to detail. This guide helps you ensure seamless planning and enjoy the big day as a parent and not as an event planner.
Pick the Date – Ideally, you'd want to host the party on the same day as the church ceremony. Ensure there are no big breaks in between or hours of travel to get to the venue.
Send Invitations –A christening party is a huge event. Remember to send the invites at least a month in advance to give guests time to prepare, especially the ones who have to travel from another town. Include details like the time, date, location, names, and dress code (if any). Don't forget to ask guests to RSVP.
Set the Menu – Like most events, food and cake are the central point of christening parties. Regardless of the venue you choose, keep your party informal with buffet catering with several food stations across the venue or just a single table for a smaller party. Include a variety of food, including vegan and allergy-free options for people with specific dietary needs.
Plan Party Favors – Favors are little tokens of appreciation. Set up a favors table or give guests their gifts with the cake. Opt for goodie bags for the kids and a little something extra for the godparents.
Christening Party Hidden Costs
It's easy to go overboard when planning your child's christening party, especially if you are unable to manage money. Having a set budget always works, but only if you stick to it.
Are you using catering services?
Unless you opt for light bites and cake, food can be the most expensive part of your baptism party. Expect to pay anywhere between $20 and $200 per person, depending on the type of catering you choose. Whether you opt for sit-down catering, cocktail reception, or buffet-style catering, make sure you find a reputable caterer with lots of references.
Will you use a photographer?
You'll probably want to hire a photographer or videographer to capture the great moments of your celebration. Be ready to spend at least $100 per hour. Photographers often have deals and packages based on what you want to shoot, such as group photos, guest arrivals, party photos, or photos in the church if allowed.
How big is your guest list?
Christening parties are, in general, intimate gatherings for close friends and family members. Reduce your guest list and get an accurate headcount by asking everyone to RSVP to their invitations. This will save you a lot of money on venue rental, food, drinks, and more.
