Hello everyone.
My family are due to attend a Lutheran christening shortly & wondered what the protocol is. Do women wear hats & cover their arms & do men wear suits or is smart casuel ( emphasise on smart ) clothing. Do we give gifts or cash? Any help would be appreciated
Many thanks

Well, depends if its in a church or at the home, but no need to dress like to the ascot. Please rest assured you'll see a wardrobe of "what was on sale" and "what was on sale last time someone had a wedding back in 1982"

Thanks for the replies. It appears to be the same as th UK but wanted to make sure. I would hate to pitch up looking out of place

Hello again.
The christening we are due to attend is being held on 01/07/2006 & I wondered if you could help again. My 8yr old grandson will be with us has now asked me what time it will get dark & what time will it be light again as he has been told it will be light for almost 24 hours.
Thanks for your replies.

It's being held at her Grandparents house just outside of Vantaa but not sure of the exact district.

Sorry for my ignorance but isn't 8 years is too old for christening?

sunrise is 0358 and sunset is 2247 on 1st July, though it is still fairly light for a good while after sunset and before sunrise.

No apology needed.
It is a girl, my granddaughter being christened. She was born in Finland in April of this year & actually lives in Finland with her parents. She will be christened at her Finnish grandparents home on on 1st July when she will be 3months old.
I am her English grandmother (strangely enough living in England as are the rest of my family) We are coming over for the christening & one of our party travelling with us will be my 8year old grandson who still would like to know what time it will get dark & what time it will be light in the morning, don't know why he's so interested

.
Just for the record, I also have another grandson travelling with us (brother of the 8year old) but he is only 19 months & doesn't know or care about daylight hours he's happy just eating.
