A mum was left in stitches when she ordered a banner for her son's christening - and they took her wording request too literally. Denise Smith, 30 had told printing shop staff: "I just want 'On your Christening day' printed on a banner, please", in order to celebrate her son's Raymond Oliver Maguire's big day.
The mum-of-two was left giggling when she opened the package and the shop had printed the words "I just want On Your Christening Day" on top of the huge poster. The printing shop had failed to leave out the three extra words at the start of her request - making the sign look rather different than intended.
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 County Cavan, 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 had ordered the banner inside the store and had also emailed and texted her requests.
But despite all the efforts, it seems the text was still confusing enough for the massive error to be made - and not picked up on.
The mum still decided to use the funny banner with pride at the Christening event .
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 Christening even more memorable.
It comes as a couple were recently roasted for a wedding cake topper that was hiding a raunchy secret around the back.
One guest at the wedding was left 'horrified' after taking a peep round the back and discovering the unusual design.
At the event, the man who shared a clip of the cake, wrote on TikTok: "I have never ever seen a cake topper like this. Check this out."
