Planning my Son's bear-y adorable Christening Party

Planning a budget friendly christening was a challenge to me because the media is so full of extravagantly styled parties; but in a sense that we wanted our event to be intimate as possible, we opted to have it bear themed (because we call our son Teo- bear) and invited our closest family and friends to celebrate in welcoming our son Liam Mateo to the Christian World.

We named our son Liam Mateo (Liam- meaning resolute protector, Mateo- meaning gift from God)

I'd like to share to you how we did it for less than 30k. Here's our supplier ratings to help you with your own planning too. Hopefully this would also be constructive to the suppliers we mentioned below.

What am I reading?

Since I got married I've occasionally read a couple of motivation and self help books but these are whats constantly in my book shelf:

1. Love & Respect: The Love She Most Desires; The Respect He Desperately Needs by Dr. Emerson Eggerichs. Suggested by a Derma friend, this is really a marriage book with a difference! whenever I have disagreements with the hubby that I completely don't understand I grab this book and read and munch on the words and it places me back to reality. It answered a lot of questions but still acknowledged the beauty of our differences as husband and wife. So I suggest you guys read this and feel free and highlight all the phrases and passages that speak to you. Give your husband all the respect and adoration you can and watch the magic happen.
