What was your budget for your childs christening?

well we not only asked everyone to buy their own drinks but lunch also LOL. We lived in WA but had bubs in SA to be by family....so it was just family when DS was only 5wks old. So we just gave donation to church, DS wore 100yr old gown (no cost). We were not staying at our place so lunch at the pub at your own cost.....but it was only our parents & siblings. I got a cake from cheescake shop with chocolate shards put on it for about $60. So didn't cost much at all.

Cake I went to our local bakery, $50 they made a huge cake decorated, written on and dated.

I don't think it'll be bad to get people to buy their own drinks, you are providing food so thats fine.

The donation can be whatever you can afford whne we did Ash's I actually started a thread somewhere in here on what is a good amount.
