Christening
A christening often brings several generations together for a ceremony followed by a meal. Between setting the date, counting guests and passing on practical details, the messages pile up. Here are the steps, and how Filomy helps you keep track.

Send the invitations
What makes it complicated
Replies trickle in, and dietary needs end up on scraps of paper.

Prepare a group gift
What makes it complicated
When several relatives chip in for the gift, you have to track pledges and chase payments.
With Filomy
The kitty is free with no commission: contributors pay the organiser directly, who sees pledged versus paid in real time.

Confirm the headcount
What makes it complicated
The caterer needs a number, and several guests still haven't replied.
With Filomy
You send a reminder to everyone who hasn't answered in one click and export the list as a CSV file.

Collect messages for the child
What makes it complicated
Guests' wishes are spoken aloud or written on a card that goes missing.
With Filomy
The online guest book collects messages, photos, videos and voice notes via a QR code, with no app or account, and can be shown as a slideshow.

Leave a message to open later
What makes it complicated
A note written for the child on their christening day can end up at the back of a drawer.
