Urgent Help Needed for Christening Gift
Everyone.
I am getting my Nephew a christening gift, but I am not going to go for the usual silver teddy banks and what not.
Instead I am going to get him a Scottish Quaich.
I want to get this engraved and this is my problem!
What do I get engraved?
eg:
Name
Christened: date
how should the name be engraved?
First
First & Middle
First & Last
First, Middle & Last ??
And should I get anything else engraved on it?
I neeed this urgently as I need to buy it tomorrow and get it engraved by Sunday, I have been looking for gifts for ages until I came up with the Quaich idea today.
thanks
ik
p.s. if this has been doubled please forgive me, as the last time I tried to make this thread it went back a few pages and I think I lost the whole thread and I only used the ? a few times when it failed.

Re: Urgent Help Needed for Christening Gift

Re: Urgent Help Needed for Christening Gift
Thanks People,
Marge I took your Idea and changed it slightly.
I consulted my parents and they aggreed that if he keeps it when he is older, as they are supposed to be keeps sakes, then this would be more appropriate:
Full Name
On your Christening
29/01/2006
From
Uncle David
ik
p.s. yes my name is David

Re: Urgent Help Needed for Christening Gift
On a christening gift, Ik/David, I'd be inclined to put just the forenames, not the surname, as those are the names your nephew is being christened with.
Apart from that, like it! ;-D
