In Dutch, thank you is spelled dank je wel or dank u wel. They both literally translate to thank you yes. Dank je wel is pronounced 'dunk you vel' and is used to say thank you informally. Dank u wel is pronounced 'dunk you vel' and is used in formal occasions.
An alternative way to say thank you is bedankt, which is pronounced bah-donks. It is also considered an informal statement.
You're welcome or my pleasure in Dutch is spelled 'graag gedaan.' It is pronounced with soft g's, a bit like you are clearing your throat. So it comes off as 'Graa Guhdawn.'

Choose a day that is not busy for the priest.
Check with the godparents, if you have chosen them, to see if they are available to attend. If they are not available, find proxies or stand-ins for the ceremony.
Invite friends and family to the ceremony by sending formal invitations through the mail.
Set up an area suitable for the ceremony that includes a source of water, either a font of holy water that can be poured or a pool for submersion, as well as an altar or stage with a table for necessary books, cloths and candles that the clergy will bring.
