Mum left hysterical after order for son's Christening banner goes very wrong

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.
