A christening is a smaller, simpler day than a wedding, and the website should mirror that. Wedding-website templates dragged into the christening world end up cluttered — too many sections, too many countdowns, a guestbook that reads like a wedding scrapbook. Here's a pared-down list of what actually belongs on a christening site, and what doesn't.

Keep

The baby's full name, both in Greek and Latin script if either side of the family will need it. The site is, ultimately, an announcement.
Date, time, and church, with a map link. Cypriot and Greek Orthodox churches are often known to family by colloquial name; include the official name + address so out-of-town guests can search confidently.
Reception venue and time, separately from the church. Christening receptions are usually shorter than weddings — a 2–3 hour afternoon meal — and out-of-town guests need to plan around that.
RSVP with a simple yes / no, dietary notes, and a count. Plus-ones are uncommon at christenings (it's a family event) so the form can default to "1 attending" and not even ask.
The godparents' names. This is the one christening-specific element. The godparents (νονοί) are the day's equivalent of best-man-and-maid-of-honour and deserve named billing.
A gift hint. Cypriot and Greek custom is usually envelope-with-money, but a discreet IBAN line on the gifts page spares grandparents asking "where do I send it?".

Skip

The countdown. A 90-day wedding countdown is fun; a 90-day christening countdown reads as anxiety. The date is enough.
Engagement-style "our story" pages. The day isn't about the parents' love story.
A 50-photo pre-wedding gallery. A handful of baby photos and you're done. The rich gallery can come after the day.
Multi-day schedule. Christenings are single-day events; a single-card schedule (church → photos → reception) reads cleaner than a multi-day timeline.
Bachelor / hen party prompts and any wedding-specific modules.

A note on language

Christenings tend to skew more Greek-speaking than weddings — friends from abroad come to weddings; christenings are family. So the default language for a Cyprus or Greek christening site is usually Greek, with an English toggle for the cousins overseas. The opposite of how we'd recommend it for a wedding.
