XP: 12:30 baptism - what would you do afterwards re a party?

Art Teacher · May 2010

DD's baptism is going to be at 12:30 on a Sunday. We thought that we would have a get together afterwards. I'm guessing we'll have about 20-25 people invited; I'm not sure that everyone will come but that's an estimate.

My question is, if the party is around 2 or 3 pm would you do a full lunch, just cake, lunch and cake, or appetizers and cake?

Thanks!

how long are your baptisms? (don't know what religion you are). Ours are about 10 minutes *if done outside of mass). I would have the party right after (no gap) and have a lunch.

I think lunch and cake would be fine. Or if you just want to do cake, just make the invites reflect that.

We normally do a full lunch and desserts, and we aren't even party people. We have a nice room in the church basement. Get a sub tray, make some desserts, get a cake and have anyone who asks bring a dish to pass.
