Christenings are big events that you want to be highly prepared for. You need to make sure that you have shopped properly and have bought everything you need ahead of the big day. Here are some of the most important things you should think about during your Christening shopping trips:

• The cake. You will need to have a cake made ahead of time, especially if you want a personalised one. Choose one that is big enough for the number of guests you have invited.
• The Christening gown. Your baby will be the star of the show and you want to make sure he or she looks the part. Make sure you are prepared and have a gown that you are happy with.
• Food and drink. Your hungry guests will need feeding – some will have travelled a long way.
• An outfit. You will also need an outfit for yourself to find one suitable.
