Author: Kathleen Lagas

Isn’t it true that there is quite a bit of excitement surrounding the birth of a baby?

Parents are in awe. Grandparents are thrilled and friends and family so excited.

Everyone wants in on the act. There are gifts and flowers galore and cherished

moments with the new little bundle of joy. Then comes that first special day when the

infant is dresses for the Christening or Baptism in a lovely christening gown or special

outfit. It’s a time to celebrate and establish family ties to at least some part of their ancestry.

Today, Precious & Few Infant Wear www.preciousfew.com carries on this lovely tradition

for modern day parents wishing to preserve or establish a heritage for their new baby.

Our heirloom christening gowns make a perfect personalized baby gift for the new

family or for each new baby as some families choose to do. The christening gowns are

personalized in pink, blue, ivory or white for the most elegant finish to these timeless classics.

Whether it’s a christening gown for a boy or christening gown for a girl, our heirloom styles are available in white linen or ivory silk. The gowns clean and preserve beautifully for priceless memories. Additional names can be added to the cotton slip as the family grows. Some families purchase a gown for each new baby to be carried on later.

Traditionally, the godparents choose the gown with the help of the parents and grandparents.

With such an interest, today, in our ancestry or roots, the Christening gown is the perfect personalized newborn baby gift. It will someday beg the question for your child, "Where did I come from?" or "How did I get here?". The heirloom gown begins your child’s story. It tells of a baby who was much loved and cherished and the story of the family who welcomed him or her. I can’t imagine how many times we told our story.
