RE: Ideas for Combining Boy's 1st Birthday and Babtism Party

I'm not sure about the party favours, in Australia we don't tend to go for such things. If is customary, maybe to make up small bags of lollies etc for children at the party. You could use sugared almonds like they use at weddings maybe. When my kids had their first birthdays we had them at the local church hall and had afternoon tea. This was my mum's church and we had to pay $50 for the hire of the hall, cups, saucers etc. We bought and made cakes, slices, sandwiches etc for the food and bought the tea, coffee etc. We used the church plates for putting the cakes, sandwiches etc on. One each table we put several bottles of soft drink and water, as well as a plate of chips, lollies etc. We put 2 big tables at the front of the hall and put the urns, tea, coffee, etc and the food on them. As we had about 25 kids, I organized some party games like pin the tail on the donkey, and printed some colouring pictures off the internet. We decorated the hall with balloons and streamers. It cost about $250 all up including the hire of the hall.. We did have to sweep the hall etc afterwards, but it was great not having to worry about parking, toilets, etc. Good luck.

I would just decorate for the birthday, and not try to work in baptism imagery. The little one will not understand baptism and it will be solemn, so let the birthday party part be for fun.
