[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here to clarify.
Subject line should say son. I also have a daughter but she is going to baptism. Baptism was scheduled months ago so my parents can purchase flights. Plus, baptisms are a big deal in my culture and it is traditional to host a luncheon afterwards so we had to book restaurant and send invitations. This was all scheduled well before we knew about tournament.
Son is 15. Husband is of the same faith as me and his entire family will be there. [/quote]

Our kids were baptized Catholic.  For that and all nieces and nephews, the process was birth, call church, individual or group baptism about 4-8 weeks after the birth.  Most had family and friends that went back to the house for cake and light food.  Church wants it done ASAP.

It's possible the party was booked before the baptism or the birth.   Some parishes or dioceses include on their sites to have the baptism scheduled separately from major wedding like parties requiring lead time.

Since OP is having one of those types of events what happened when the other children were born?  Was there contention with DH on those and did he want this scope of party for this baptism?  Since this big event exists he really should attend.  But more can be going on here than readers know about. [/quote]
