DEVENT planning resources
Christening Planning Online
Plan christening invitations, ceremony and reception details, family seating and meal arrangements with clear expectations.
Distinguish ceremony and reception
State the ceremony location and time, then give the reception address and arrival instructions. Ask the venue or religious host about any wording or arrival expectations before sending the invitation.
Consider the youngest guests
Record children as named guests when appropriate. Discuss high chairs, pram storage and feeding space with the reception venue; a table assignment alone does not confirm that equipment is available.
Build a useful event workspace
Start with confirmed dates and locations, then enter guests, prepare invitations and record supplier decisions. DEVENT connects these planning tools; bookings, venue permissions and supplier availability still need confirmation with the relevant business.
Worked example · illustrative details
Church ceremony and family lunch
For an 11 am ceremony followed by a 12:30 lunch, tell guests where to go between the two. Keep a family with a young child near a practical exit, subject to the venue’s access and table arrangement.
Your next steps
