Sloane's Baby Dedication


I have been a hot mess over Sloane's baby dedication/christening. I was baptised Catholic but grew up Lutheran. I am use to the christening or baptism traditions. Drew and I however go to a nondenominational church and they do baby dedications. PROBLEM our church does them a little odd in my opinion.. 4 times a year from 4-6pm on a Sunday. That just didn't work for us and the plans we have envisioned. So needless to say we aren't doing it at our church. We instead are having the same pastor that married Drew and I (Dr. Sosebee/Drew's very best friend's father) do Sloane's baby dedication. We both felt that was really neat and were honored when he said he would do this for us. So on May 16 our beautiful daughter will have her baby dedication. Some might think I have planned a wedding reception for the child. I rented out an adorable tea room/entire house for her luncheon. I love invitations so I had to order some for this occassion and well a cake too. I wont go as far as party favors however! All our family and a few close friends will be going with us to Rock Hill, SC for the ceremony and wedding reception.. I mean lunch after.

Sloane and I had a photo shoot so that I could put a picture in with the invitation. This is Madison's (Drew's sisters) dress. Thank goodness Helen keeps things b/c my mother apparantley gave the one my brother and I wore to Godwill. Nice!

Yes that would be hard since you have family that have to travel - and usually do that on a Sunday afternoon.
I think it will be very special and a great idea! Can't wait to see pics.!
