    I've had this on my mind for some silly reason. Basically you are having a Sip and See party after a church Baptism. If I have that right, don't feel odd at all about not inviting everyone to the Baptism. If I was your best friend from 1st grade OR a member of your church (not religion, but your same church), yeah I might wanna go but otherwise I'm perfectly happy with skipping the church part and going only to the party part. Hope that helps!

      I think I might include an extra little card that gives the baptism ceremony details and makes it clear that it is totally optional.

          I don't think it's weird - any Catholic will know that churches get full fast and that the actual baptism is a little hectic, especially if there are multiple kiddos. I think inviting them solely to the party, but including the ceremony info is perfect!

                no clue, about any of it. this was the first shower id been to in 7 or 8 years. not exactly my scene. as soon as i saw the gifts i was so embarrassed i snatched up the card (with nothing in it) and put it back in my purse. eek!

                  I had this for my wedding. Because I was sick of feeling like I was asking people for gifts. Its a shower of love and excitement. I just wanted a pre wedding luncheon were I could see everyone and celebrate my upcoming wedding. I wanted the tradition of the shower with out asking for gifts.

                    Damnit I just realized I didn't out the ceremony info in as I put the last stamp on. Oh well. But aren't the invites beautiful? I saved one to frame
