So what is ‘Sunday best’?

In olden days, when we were all god-fearing folk, ‘Sunday best’ was a smart outfit that you would wear to church on a Sunday.

Today, if you google the term ‘Sunday best’, you will probably end up with a host of websites offering christening outfits, like this one.

So how does this help you, when it comes to deciding what to wear on the 20th or the 22nd?

Well, it probably doesn’t. For anyone turning up in a vicar’s outfit or a christening robe will probably be turned away. [Unless, of course, you are a vicar or a child!]

As far as we are concerned, Sunday best would be something like:
* For the boys – trousers and a shirt. [No need for full blown suit/tie, unless you want to]
* For the gals – nice dress / frock.

At the end of the day, we want people to enjoy themselves – without feeling too formally dressed. Plus we want people to look nice in the photos.

Besides, you can always wear your Bermuda shorts, Hawaiian shirts, bikini tops, flip-flops or thongs for the rest of the weekend!

Hope that helps.
