Planning Little Man's Baptism

Next weekend is little man's baptism. I had lots of fun planning it, and only have a couple of things left to do (finish the seating arrangement and buy myself a shawl for my sleeveless dress). Today I received some Thank You cards from PoppinPrints in the football design (I won a giveaway on another site, which was neat since I love PoppinPrints!). I'm planning to have paper, crayons, and religious coloring books at the tables with children, and I'm trying to decide if my husband and I should have a first dance with little man (and if so, then we need a great song...any ideas?)

The godparents picked out beautiful favors of silver crosses with blue crystal for the guests, and I finished picking out the menu. Someone asked for a photo of the final centerpiece, but I didn't take one when we went to the florist. I'll be sure to take lots of photos at the baptism though, and can't wait to post them.

We are Orthodox, so our son will be disrobed and dunked when baptised (makes for great photos that I would love to post too!). Many babies cry, or look confused, or pee, and one baby even pooped when lifted and dunked repeatedly. I'm really curious about what little man will do :)

While planning, we used lots of on-line sites, and I plan to write about everything in more detail after the event. For now, a quick summary:

* We used Tiny Prints for the invitations and return address labels.
* All our Thank You cards are from PoppinPrints.
* My make-up artist is Piera Canu, who also did my wedding make-up. She travels and has done the make-up of models in magazines for lay-outs and she does awesome lash extensions.
* My dress is by Laundry, a white, one-shouldered style that is currently being tailored.
* Our florist is Cress Florists (they also do weddings, and many other events).

Pictures and details about everything will follow.
