I
am facing an unusual amount of stress lately (besides my PhD, being a new mum,
returning to my research and caring for my demanding little one), and why is
that?
Because
we (my other half and myself) decided to baptize our little one in less than
three weeks. Oh yes, you read it correctly, we have less than three weeks time
to prepare the Baptism ceremony!
So,
we have virtually no time at all to find a space, caterer, a baptism outfit,
and all that is necessary for this celebration... Yes, that is true, I am aware
that basically all that is truly necessary is to attend the mass, the
celebration itself and be there with your little one and the godparents.... But
this is such an important celebration that I really wish my family and my close
friends to be there, and that means... me and around 50 or more other
people! So, as you can imagine I am facing an almost impossible task ahead!
But
so far so good. Luckily I have some really supportive people behind me, my
other half, my parents and in-laws, who are being truly amazing, really
supportive with all these preparations. And we are lucky, at least one space
and caterer are available in so short-notice time frame. Unfortunately the one
space that we really want is a no show so far. We are still waiting for a reply!
As
I was getting some inspiration from around the web, I found several
inspirational blogs, about party planning and party decorations. As my other
half would say, I really like to complicate things, meaning that I would really
like a pretty celebration for my baby boy. I already managed to create the
invitation (and all the invitations were already sent by mail). So I am going
with a blue and white themed party. I won’t be able to have a gorgeous
celebration with amazing decorations as I am seeing around the web, but at
least I will try to have a coherent look whenever possible. These ideas will
only be finalized once I have the space and caterer settled....
And
here is what I am picturing for the day:
How
about you? Did you ever had to plan a celebration in such a short amount of
time?
