Christening...

Hunh?

To put it in conteext, remember in my last post I said I'd gotten married... well surprise... 5 and half months ago I gave birth to a little girl and now we're getting her christened. I'll fill you in on more details later, but for now, what you need to know is that she's getting christened along with a family friend's son. So, my friend Kels and I met up this morning and started talking about these things (the christening is in a months time) and so far we've got a colour scheme...



It's really two colour schemes in one... the first three colours are for her little boy, Nar (he's a Liverpool Fan) and the last three are for my baby girl, Brownie (I'm an ice-cream fan). What do you think? Kels hasn't seen it yet, so I can't wait to see what she thinks.

Thinking about the colours, it would be nice if we could have dessert that match these colours on the day... Neapolitan Ice-Cream cake and Strawberry Shortcake of some sort... That would look so cute. Of course I'd need to practice them before then. Good thing I've got a cake afternoon coming up.

I've got to draw up invites, so Nar's colours would be used on his invite and Brownie's on hers, but they'll follow the same design and have the same info. To be honest, the original colour scheme was red, pink and white. The yellow and brown made their way into the colour scheme because the hall we're using for the reception afterwards is yellow, white and brown. I figured including them in the scheme would mean they don't stand out so much... That and Nar wants a chocolate cake. Bless him, his two requests for the day; Liverpool FC colours and a chocolate cake. Gotta love the children.

I digress... so your thoughts on the colour scheme. Too many colours? Too much/not enough contrast? Let me know.


Thanks,

Update: Gazelle, thinks that 5 colours is too many and that I should drop the pink and brown. I definitely can't drop the red... but do you agree that I should drop the brown and pink? Which colours would you drop if any?
