Christening...

suit but if you don't have one then trousers, shirt and tie

Ask what your girlfriend is going to wear and wear something that compliments. If she is going to dress up, then you need to wear a suit, if she is going in jeans and a T-shirt, then you can too.

I've said it before, and i'll say it again..

Could go in long robes and a dog collar, that would get confusing.

Ann Summers "Sexy Devil" fancy dress

It's the way god made you, he won't mind.

I never get why people don't take the opportunity to dress up more. I love getting suited up for any occasion that lets me get away with it - I remember a great Sunday in uni when my house donned full-blown evening wear for an afternoon at the local

You can get away with it, doing anything tbh. Just not with a Top Hat

Steve2000 · 16 Oct 2010 at 11:34

I've been to loads of these over the years. I just went in a shirt, trousers and shoes with a leather jacket on.

tbh that isn't a daring dare for a bloke, unless a kilt is involved, and they do not need any encouragement in that department.

Going commando in a kilt isn't daring, it's de rigeur. Wearing anything underneath shows that you're not wearing a kilt in the right way.

I think RDM has got it right, check what your girlfriend is wearing and wear something on a similar level of smartness.

I wear socks and shoes under my kilt.

Alternative response - no, nothing is at all worn under this kilt.

I'm going to a christening tomorrow as well.

Vixen · 16 Oct 2010 at 16:12

Ask your girlfriend what she wants you to wear.

steve-h · 16 Oct 2010 at 16:19

why is 3 the joke? you mean 2?

A suit would be most appropriate for a Christening, imo.

jeans would look a bit out of place, trainers would be an absolute no

Yes, only smart clothes will do for indoctrinating and labelling children; nothing less.

Pfft, the kid is too young to remember it and unless the kid's parents are hardline Christians I doubt there will be much indoctrination.

My mother always told me I was christened. It wasn't 'til I was 18 that she told me what actually happened was she christened me in our kitchen sink. To this day she won't accept my reasoning that it doesn't count...
