Joint Christening Card Advice

We have been invited to a joint christening soon, a couple know are baptising there older son, and there baby twins together. They have requested donations as a gift. My dilemma is what do we do about cards...

do i buy them one for each child as each may have there own memory box, one for the twins and the older son, or one card between all three (with an individual message for each boy inside)

Arghhh! I dont want to get it wrong!! Many Thanks in advance! x

    There is no wrong, do as you see fit.
    We're only talking a few pounds, if you buy your cards, so do three separate ones if you want to.
    Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.

    I would do one for each.

    I don't think there is a right or wrong way. If you can get 3 equally lovely cards that would be good for memory boxes.

    i would do one for each, that way if they have a memory box or the like it can go inside that.

    Do either the first or third option; definitely not the second!

    Definately either one for each or one for them all. I think one each would be lovely, especially for the twins as so many people tend to buy joint cards for twins.

    I voted wrong! I meant to tick one each, and ticked just one. So, amend the numbers accordingly!!

    What's a memory box?

    It's a way of storing all that stuff you get when they're small that you don't really know what to do with it - 'welcome baby' cards, first bootees etc.

    I've got the same coming up - girl and two younger twins boys. Was just going to buy 3 cards. It hadn't occurred in a million years that I'd need a poll to make this sort of decision for me.

    What did we do before the internet?
    If you haven't got it - please don't flaunt it. TIA.
