My husband and I are thinking if we should just combine our baby's baptism and first birthday celebration. Do you think that will be fine?

Yes. Actually were on the same boat sis. Dapat this May baptism na ni LO kaso dahil sa covid postpone na, dahil sept naman na bday niya, sasabay nalang namin. Nakakahiya kase sa mga godparents if ever i rush parin namin.
