I have a question. I have an aquaintance who had a baby, and is having him dedicated at their church in a couple of weeks. This couple is good friends with our best friends. I know the wife more - we have all gone out to lunch, I attended some bible study classes at her house on several occasions. I gave her some baby stuff I no longer needed. DH and I were invited and went to their baby shower. But this is all because our best friends have also been there. They are super nice, and I really like the wife (just don't know the husband as well).
We got an invitation to their new baby's Dedication. DH and I are NOT religious in any way (DH moreso than me). He doesn't know them at all really - has only met them a couple of times. The invitation is super nice - a photo of the baby, the invite, and no gifts wanted.
So who gets invited to these? A lot of people? I've never been to one before, and it was kind of suprising to me to get an invite in the mail, given our level of relationship. I would be more than happy to go and support them and their new baby. Just wondering, since I feel like we don't know them that well.
But perhaps this could be an opening to get to know them better?
