When lots of people think about Christin’s they think of babies, but very often the child who is to be christened can be older. This may be because the family only decided recently to have them christened or maybe they were waiting until their sibling had been born to have them both christened at the same time.

When looking for outfits for older boys and girls you may steer a little further away that the traditional type. Boys may wear a suit and often older girls where a white dress. If you really want to be savvy with your money, you may even get them a dress that they can wear again afterwards to parties.

Some parents make their child’s christening outfits out of their wedding dress. This has been an ongoing tradition for some time now. For older boys, who may not feel comfortable wearing a dress, they may have a tie or cravat made from their mothers wedding dress instead of a whole outfit.

When it comes to christenings, don’t get hung up on the outfit. The outfit is only a small part of it. IF you are struggling for ideas then why not visit a specialist christening shop where they will be able to show you a range of different outfit options that are suitable for children of all ages.
