Haha, yup, the stranger from the past is back again, because I need some advice, and while frantically Google-ing I thought of this place!
Basically, I'm off to a christening, and am also helping plan it.... however, due to some time restrictions, it was booked yesterday for 3 weeks time....
I've been OK planning the actual day, but I've been sat here just, and realised I've forgotten two vital planning pieces of my own....
First off - what to buy for him? I've been ebaying, and there's a few nice ideas but I'm not sure whats appropriate... especially as I've got to buy from me and my boyfriend (he's one of the godfathers, and I'm the godmother)
Second - what the hell am I supposed to wear?! I genuinely have no idea where to begin with this one!
Any tips?

Either way, clothes wise, I would go for a smart-ish outfit. The sort of thing that you feel relaxed in but wouldn't raise any eyebrows at work. (If it's a Catholic or Orthodox service there may be a dress code, you should check.)
I did some photography for a christening in a Catholic church a few months ago, the guys wore suits and the women dresses of varying sorts. Smart, but not wedding smart if that makes sense.
I don't recall any of the women adhering to any particular catholic dress code though, ie covered heads e.t.c.
They're CofE, and its a service in itself as far as I've been made aware.
Work wise, I wear a uniform, so don't really own anything "work-smart" - I am more than likely going to have to buy something...
A friend suggested a light coloured dress of some sort but I'd have no ideas what was appropriate on that front either haha!
