Recipe: Some Finger Food Ideas for Christening Reception

Appetizers and Snacks
Dear Carrie,

A baby's Christening is such a memorable family ritual in many cultures. It is a time of welcoming the newest addition into God's family, a time for rejoicing and a time for celebrating miracles.

You may have family members who are wonderful cooks each contribute one of the following or you may have it catered and arranged on fine crystal and china on beautiful hand-cut lace tablecloths. Many catering companies also include in their price the use of their china and crystals. If you don't have it catered, you may buy many of the items suggested below at fine delicatessens or grocery stores and then transfer the food to the fine serving platters. For easy clean-up, have fine chinette disposable plates and disposable cutlery with good white paper napkins.

Also, having fresh-cut vases of Spring flowers arranged with Baby's Breath would be lovely.

Here are some delicious ideas for your reception. Please let me know if you are interested in any ofthem and I will be happy to post the recipes.
