What to give godmother and godfather after christening
A gift to the baptized is a thank you for the accepted role, not a payment for participation in the ceremony. A small item or shared experience with a personal message works best.
A gift or two
If the baptized are a couple, a joint gift is appropriate. If it is two separate people, it is better to prepare two equal in terms of attention, but not necessarily the same gifts.
Ideas
- a small religious picture;
- photo album after baptism;
- a book with a postcard;
- family dinner or tickets;
- a memory box with a photo of a child.
What to write
Thank them for agreeing to be with the child, give their name and christening date, and state one specific hope for their future relationship.
What to avoid
Do not compare gifts to the godparents with what they gave to the child, and do not choose a large sacred object without knowing their preferences.
