A mum-of-two has been left giggling after an order for her son's Christening decorations went hilariously wrong. Denise Smith, 30, had organised for a banner to be printed for her son Raymond's special day.
But the store took her wording all 'too literally' when they printed word-for-word what she had said when placing the order. Denise had told the printing shop staff 'I just want 'On your Christening day' printed on a banner, please,' and was left howling when she opened the package to find they had printed her exact words.
The huge poster read 'I just want on your Christening Day' at the top and to make matters worse, Denise had ordered the banner from a shop owned by her brother - who was Raymond's godfather.

Thankfully Denise, an addiction support worker from Ireland, saw the humour in hanging the banner up, and decided to use it - despite the blunder.
She said: "When I opened the banner, my brother's wife just shrieked 'Oh my God,'
"My brother was so embarrassed - he was meant to be godfather. I just laughed, gasped and thought 'Oh My God'.”
"I just thought it was so funny - how can you mess it up that badly?".
Denise said she ordered the banned in person - but also emailed and Whatsapped her request - yet the text was still confused.
She still used the banner with pride at the christening in June 2018.
She said: "Raymond's dad, Connor, just said it was quality and laughed.
"All of my family and friends were just in stitches - they thought it was so funny.
"Even when I tell people now they don't believe it happened."
Denise said that the mixed up banner made Raymond's, who is now four years old, christening even more memorable.
