A christening is an important event for both friends and family, so make sure you start your planning early to make this day special. Asking yourself these questions will you get started on the right foot.

When should your baby be christened?

Parents choose to christen their babies at different ages. Some christen infants who are only a few weeks or months old. Some parents choose to christen children when they are toddlers, and adults in their sixties have even been christened! It’s best to discuss this matter with your local priest or minister before you decide.

How should your baby be christened?

There are three major methods by which children are christened. Generally, the christening ceremony will be performed by your family’s priest or minister. It can be done by pouring (affusion), sprinkling (aspersion), or immersion in a baptismal font. This really depends on your family’s religious affiliation so don’t sweat too much about whether you should do pouring or sprinkling. If you and your spouse come from different religious backgrounds, it’s best to check with clergy on both sides to see if the christening ceremony differs significantly between them.

What should my baby wear?

The baby being christened usually wears a white or off-white christening gown made especially for the occasion. These gowns can be decorated with lace trim and delicate embroidery. The gown becomes a keepsake for many families and may be passed down for many babies to wear throughout several generations. The latest trend for baby boys is to dress them in a christening outfit that does not look as much like a dress. It includes a romper and vest but has the same style and type of detail that a christening gown does.

How do I choose christening invitations?

Traditional motifs for baby christening include decorative crosses, the christening gown or outfit, or the baptismal font. White is the way to go, as this color signifies the purity of the infant and is an important part of the christening ceremony. Choose christening invitations with gold or silver trim to add some color to the traditional white. Cute die-cuts of christening gowns or outfits are something different and will surely adorn your guests’ fridges as the event approaches. The best christening invitations are simple and stick to the details of time, date, and location for the christening.

Should I host a party after the christening?

Couples usually choose to host a lunch or dinner after their baby’s christening. When you’re figuring out your guest list, be sure to figure out how many people you’re willing to feed! Do you want a more intimate affair with close family and friends, or do you want to invite your entire extended family and all of your colleagues? Christening parties can be casual or fancy; it’s all up to your personal style. Make sure to note the location of the meal on your christening invitations so guests know what to expect.

Baby’s baptism – or Christening, as it is so often called – can take place any time of the year. When the warming weather of Spring arrives many families decide that it’s time. Who can blame them? It makes so much sense; Spring’s revival of life and the dedication of a new life to God go hand in hand!

There are so many choices for baby’s Baptism outfit today that it can be mind boggling. Let’s break down the basic choices to help you.

o First is the Christening Gown, which many often call a Baptism Gown. The terms are interchangeable. Traditionally, all children were baptized in a long, formal gown that was usually white and hand made with labor and love by the expectant mother or close relative. The gown was the same whether for a boy or girl. Times have changed, though, and your choices have expanded radically! Styles are now available for girls or boys specifically, as well as “family gowns” that are intended to be gender-neutral so they can be used by all new family members in the future. Baptism gowns are usually 28″ or longer with 32″-36″ being the most common, but we have seen them up to 42″ long! The child is very young and ‘in arms’, of course, and not able to toddle around in these gowns. This is why you won’t see many Christening gowns made in larger sizes.

o The Baptism Dress – or Christening Dress. This is a shorter style usually between knees and toe tips. It can be called a “Daygown” if toe-tip length. This style is used for less formal ceremonies, for older children who can walk around (and, thus, making a long, formal gown very impractical) and after a formal ceremony at the family celebration. You don’t want to be passing baby around in a gown you intend as a keepsake – disasters can happen!

o The Baby Suit. While historic tradition has boys wearing the same gowns as girls, today many boys are baptized (or christened or dedicated) in a little boy’s suit instead. This can take many forms from a miniature version of a “big boy’s” suit or yes, even a tuxedo, to an Eton suit or a classic baby suit that can be 1, 2, 3 or 4 pieces. The extent of choices today is huge! He can wear a button-on (shirt buttons onto shorts making it very neat and tidy) or knickers, for just a couple of the many variations available. Many styles come with matching jackets; most with matching hats that are very ‘boyish’ rather than girlie bonnets.

o The “Convertible Gown”. This is a modern hybrid that can make everybody happy! The convertible gown is designed for boys whose family wants them “in pants” but they still cherish the concept of the traditional Christening or Baptism gown. A convertible gown is really a baby suit style – usually a one-piece – with a skirt that conceals the pants by buttoning on in an inconspicuous manner. This is very effect for appeasing fathers who don’t want their sons “wearing a dress” and can make everybody very happy!

We see that it is very common to shop just days before the date of the baptism – often just a day or two! This causes undue stress. While there are times when it simply isn’t avoidable, by all means please do plan several weeks ahead so you are more likely to get your first choice delivered and in your hands so you can relax and focus on the beauty and significance of the day.

For many families with a new baby, christenings are a very special event in the child’s life. Christenings are a deep and meaningful time for the family also, as the child enters the religious world of the family. Christenings are time when families choose to share the special event with their closest friends and family. The type of ceremony that occurs for a christening can vary from religion to religion, but the emotional bond created is felt the same for all.

Many parents will send christening invitations to friends and family for the event. There are a great variety of invitations available to mark the christening. Several factors to consider when ordering christening invitations include the theme or symbolic element that will be incorporated into the christening, as well as gender of the baby. There are many wonderful invitations for both boys and girls. Some ideas for themes are listed below.

There are a number of wonderful themes that can be incorporated into the christening. A cross is always an important element to mark the holiness of the event. Crosses symbolize the washing away of sins and profession of faith. Hearts are a wonderful theme to symbolize love. Baby feet are also a great element that can be incorporated into the theme. Flowers and floral designs are another great element, symbolizing new life.

Bright white is the traditional color used for christening invitations. The baby is usually dressed in a bright white christening gown to symbolize purity. Incorporating white into the invitations and decorations of the christening is the perfect way to have a beautiful christening. Other things to consider for a christening are matching party accessories and favors such as napkins with baby’s name and date of christening.

Christenings are a special and memorable event for the family of the child. It is perceived as the time when the child truly becomes a party of the religious family. Mark the event with a beautiful celebration considering the themes and accessories mentioned in this article.

Should we Still Shop ‘Til We Drop? Tis almost the season, and the world appears to be swirling out of control. With a mammoth financial crises in full swing and unemployment rising across the globe, gift-giving is not only more of a challenge in the usual ways, it has become an ethical challenge as well. For example, over the last several years we’ve been told that by spending we can save America. And, now it seems that by buying correctly we can also help to save the world. This is a tall order and a heavy responsibility. Almost enough to suck the cheer right out of the season. So how about this? Let’s forget about all that for a few moments at least, and just have fun poking around the rapidly growing arena of sustainable living and conscious shopping.

For starters we decided to ask a few green builders what they would want, or what they would suggest giving to other like-minded souls. As luck would have it, a number of them were gathered at the Fortnightly Club to celebrate the saving of Twin Maples, the Club’s circa 1908 neo-classical mansion in Summit, NJ. The building, which houses their offices, has been the site of numerous charitable events, and has the added fun bonus of looking like a miniature version of the White House. According to Laurie Finn, owner of La Jolie in Summit, NJ, and co-chair of the Twin Maples Centennial Show House along with Heidi Evenson, the project took two years to complete – probably some sort of record considering the challenges involved. It wasn’t easy, she said, but they did it; and they did it sustainably.

It was there that we met independent heating and air conditioning contractor, Antonio Poccia (USGBC-NJ). Mr. Poccia is the owner of Perfection Contracting, and the HVAC specialist who installed Twin the Maples’ geothermal system which promises to reduce the energy costs of the 6,500 square foot estate house by 50%. What would he suggest as a can’t-live-without gift for a green builder? One idea: a Hitachi PC-120 excavator ($30,000) used for creating horizontal earth loops, or possibly a John Deer 650J-LGP bulldozer ($112, 000 dollars) for regrading after jobs are done. He would welcome either or both for himself, he said, but he already has them. At Twin Maples, however, in an effort to keep the number of bore holes down because of landscaping and scheduling issues, they didn’t use either. They went with a leased well-drilling rig (another good, but somewhat more expensive gift idea), drilling four holes down to 475 feet each. According to Mr. Poccia, who recently completed a new building for his company in Newton, NJ, “Goethermal is going to be the way houses are heated and cooled in the future. He believes it’s the only thing that makes sense right now, he said. In most cases, his figures show that once geothermal is installed, energy costs are lowered enough to create a positive net savings after monthly installation loan and energy bills are paid. Add solar to the mix, he said, and the costs pretty much zero out. For this reason, he is now contemplating adding solar panels as a finishing touch to his new building. He is thinking this would be the good, green present he could give to himself for the holiday and for his financial bottom line.

USGBC-NJ potential board member, architect Anastasia Harrison, AIA, was also at Twin Maples that day. Ms. Harrison, who is with Wesketch Architecture, served as a green consultant for the project to make sure that all the new building technologies they were using properly integrated into the historic home. “When you have an old house like Twin Maples and you bring in new technologies, you have to look at the whole package,” she explained; this includes “the building envelope, replacement windows (in this case donated by Marvin), the heating system, the insulation (soy-based blown in by Foam Tight), and the integration of everything between the old and the new.” Her picks for Green Gifts? She would go with the whole green cleaning thing, she said. “We work in Green Teams – and we work so hard to meet the goals of our projects. Then we turn these houses over to the people who own them, and we don’t know what they do with them! They have the house. They have the certificate of occupancy. And everything is as good as we can make it. But how do we know they keep it that way?” she said. However, people seem to want to do their best, she noted, because they always ask about care. What should they use to take care of the floors, the windows, the heating systems? In Ms. Harrison’s case, once the house has been turned over to its new owners, a major goal is keeping it clean in such a way that it doesn’t become toxic. So she personally gifted Twin Maples with a whole line of Shaklee cleaning projects which are reputed to be non-toxic and non-polluting. She also recommends getting a device for monitoring home energy usage such as a PowerCast Monitor, which allows homeowners to understand how their daily habits affect the energy usage in their home. Taking these extra steps beyond the building phase, towards supporting the lifestyles of her clients, is what completes a project for her, she said.

Elizabeth (Beth) Kujan is an expert in sustainability planning, specifically in the area of carbon accounting and environmental disclosure. The real opportunity for energy efficiency is in buildings, she told us. “According to current research there are billions of dollars in wasted energy which could be captured, and gigatons of CO2 emissions which could be eliminated with proper accounting and planning.” Thinking about all that wasted energy, Ms. Kujan decided the gift she would like for herself is a heat exchanger that would transfer waste heat from servers and telco equipment (used for routing internet connections and telephone calls) to her office space so she could grow orchids all winter long! Is that a fantasy? Yes. Does she grow orchids now? Not at the moment. But she loves flowers and in fact grew bromeliads at one time (which don’t require heat). In any event, it’s a nice fantasy, and would be a great gift for any orchid lover, if waste energy were being used efficiently. Basically, the equipment is used like radiators in cars, only bigger, she said, so you would need a few big rooms at hand for optimum results. Prices range from – $1,000 – $200,000 and are subject to change _. Ms. Kujan served as the US account manager for Carbon Disclosure Project’s Supply Chain Leadership Collaboration managing 15 of 34 accounts. She has developed web-based training classes for first time responders to Carbon Disclosure Project questionnaires. The most popular is Greenhouse Gas Emissions Calculations.

Entrepreneur in Residence at the Institute for Sustainable Enterprise at Fairleigh Dickinson University, Jonathan Cloud, says he is not entirely comfortable with anything too commercial, because he views our present condition in New Jersey as simply not sustainable. As the leader of the FDU Sustainable Business Incubator, he argues that if we are going to cut our carbon emissions by 80% by 2050, as mandated in NJ legislation, we must convert most of our transportation (including cars, trucks, and buses) to run on green, renewable electricity. And since we’re already on this runaway train called global warming, he says we’re going to need to adjust to the realities of sea level rise, species migration, and a significantly higher cost of living. The only way out of this is to grow an entirely new kind of economy, a green and sustainable economy. This, he believes, means changing the way we do just about everything, from manufacturing, to shipping, to how we move ourselves from place to place, and to the kinds of homes, towns, and cities we live in.

However Mr. Cloud did come up with a few gift suggestions including a Green Hard Hat and several books. The proud owner of a Liberty green hard hat from Erb Industries given to him by ‘Summit Green’ founder Anne-Marie Treger, he said you can find them online in several varieties and prices. Here’s one: Safety Hat. “Sentry III“ 6 Point Pin-Lock System. Dark Green Universal slots accommodate hearing, welding and faceshield accessories. Comfortable 6 point nylon suspension with Coolmax terrycloth sweatband. Rachet holds cap in place. All hat and caps adjust to fit sizes 6 1/2 to 8.

Mr. Cloud is the recipient of a UN Environment Award in 1985 for his work in renewable energy, conservation, and appropriate technologies, he has been an entrepreneur, community organizer, and project leader in both the U.S. and Canada. Lately he’s been concentrating on plans for a book and conference on “Jumpstarting the New Green Economy,” to be held May 20-22 at FDU’s Madison, NJ campus.

Numerous books and bound gifts made from recycled materials, can be acquired from Eco-Books from Michael Roger Press is based in Middlesex, NJ. Founded in 1949, the company creates books, journals and scrapbooks which are 100% recycled (other than the wire bindings) and recyclable. The pages of the journals are manufactured using alternative energy from 100% post consumer waste. The cover boards are made from 90% post consumer and 10% post industrial waste, and natural materials made from a variety of sustainable plants such as banana and mango papers, cork, mulberry and tamarind. The ‘recycled’ stamps are non-toxic foil. The papers are made in a US mill which they said uses green energy sources such as bio-gas. Their line of discarded cut-down records are also turned into blank journals in different sizes and types, a scrapbook, different seized boxes, a binder and books made out of the record jackets.

We wanted to cover Boylan Tumblers seen at the Javits Gift Show. They are made from New Jersey’s own cut down Boylan Birch Beer bottles, by a Moonachie, NJ company that still uses sugar, not corn syrup in its sodas. Apparently they are so popular that there are none available until January. And there was not a human to speak to at Weston, WI-based distributor, the Green Glass Company. So check them out Online in the new year. [PHOTO 5] Meanwhile take a look at Back2Tap, a startup business which makes sturdy, reusable stainless steel water bottles to replace the mountains of plastic bottles clogging our waste streams. Based in Chatham the company offers the bottles to schools for use as fundraisers, to corporations, and are on sale Online.

Before he leaves with the baby, Bobbie instructs Jason on how to feed his son. Marjorie, the social worker, pays an unannounced home visit at the penthouse and is taken aback to find both Bobbie and Emily playing surrogate mother for Carly’s baby. After Marjorie departs, Jason thanks Bobbie for warning him that the social worker was on her way over to spy on them. The day of Michael’s baptism, Jason explains to an impressed Bobbie how he defines faith in God. Bobbie shyly asks Jason for permission to dress the baby in Lucas’ christening gown. As the ceremony begins, Jason is pleased to see Robin slipping into one of the pews at the back of the church. When the Quartermaines suddenly arrive en masse, however, a scowling Jason motions his armed bodyguards forward and Justus warns his family that they’ll go to jail if they attempt to touch the baby. Promising to keep the rest of the family silent and in line, Lila sweetly asks permission to stay for the ceremony and Jason reluctantly gives his consent. There are readings by Emily and Bobbie. All appears to be going smoothly despite some muttering from Edward. The chaotic christening is interrupted yet again when Marino and several of his goons stroll into the church. Jason and Justus greet Marino; he expresses his respect for Jason and desire to discuss Jason’s truce overture. After ascertaining …

www.flowergirldressforless.com Classic, rich and truly elegant are some of the works that evoke when looking at this dress. So simple in design, but so divine in the details. You should really pull up the detail pictures of this dress to really see the type of structure it has. The dress is satin layered with soft tulle and the waist is detailed with bridal trim- not the cheap stuff that everyone claims that is- we have been in the business long enough to know the difference. You can really tell the quality of this dress when you get it. The design of the dress is aline with simple cap sleeves, with a princess line seaming. The dress is offered in White, Champagne and Ivory. Beautiful detailing that goes even to the back with a zipper back, fully lined with crinoline underneath for flare if you wanted to pouf it out a little. This dress is truly regal and fit for a queen. Just lovely to match alot of the bridal gowns out there in the market…this one is special.
