How do we word Christening invitations?

Hello!

Hi everyone just wanted some advice. My daughter is getting her son christened and they are trying to word the invitations. They are heading back to the local hotel beer garden for a BBQ lunch which will be provided however due to finances drinks wont be. We know everyone will be fine this with but would still like to word politely on invites. Any suggestions?

Straight out with it. Your christening, your finances, totally up to you what you do and don’t pay for

Something like……BBQ provided at local pub, drinks are up to you. I don’t think it’s rude to expect guests to buy their own drinks, so don’t feel bad about asking

As sterotypical as it sounds try google. Its what we did when creating the christening invites for both our children and were given a variety of wordings

A BBQ lunch will be provided, guests who wish to purchase beverages will be able to do so at the bar. Sounds like a great idea to me!
