Like a lot of other posters (and Cary), I'm a bit confused about this whole "Christening" thing. I feel like there's some sort of cultural knowledge that I'm not up on.
I've never heard of such a formal christening where people from out of town are sent invitations, as if it's a wedding. (I was raised Catholic and we never had anything like that in my family, nor have I ever encountered it with any friends/acquaintences.) I'm afraid, like many other people, I haven't been able to get beyond that to consider LW's problem, which seems to be, "I invited people to an event and they decided to come, and now they're taking over."
Sorry, but I'm still hung up on the event itself. What the hell is that about?
