God Parents

Hello Everyone,

I was curious what everyone did\plan to do regarding God Parents.

Are you having a God Mother\God Father for each child or the same ones for both?

Thanks

 

Hi!

I am planning to have different Godparents for each baby.

HTH!

 

i know plenty of people who have just 1 couple for both kids, in the long run it would have made our life easier.

we planned on 2 couples for both (so we wouldn't have to choose who's who) and a friend who is a priest for both as well. however, when i asked my cousin and his wife if they wanted to be gp's they asked which one? and i felt maybe both would be too much or something and i said, pick! and they said ally because they already have a godson. so then the next couple we asked we asked flat out if they wanted to be ds's gp's. it's confusing though, so and so is her's and so and so is his. so i would probably do 1 or 2 couples for both, as planned in the first place...

they always get gifts for both babies so the other doesn't feel left out, so i feel we imposed on them anyway LOL they may as well have had the "title"

 

We have one couple for both babies. IMO, I couldn't imagine separating them if something were to happen to me and DH!

 

I think you can do it either way, we chose different godparents just because we have lots of family and didn't want people feeling left out (although i would have had to have quads for that to work).

That is what we did. Evan also got a different set.

 

We did the same for both and in our wills if we both die they get custody. I know not everyone does it that way, but it is how we wanted it. FWIW, our Godparents are our best friends and not relatives, we trusted them more with our children then we did family.

 

Our church told us that we could use the same godparents for both of the babies (wish I had known this before selecting two sets of people!) but we do have two sets of godparents for the babies. One is a set of friends and the others are family.

 

We used one set for both babies. It was slim pickin's for us, so we decided to do it this way since the couple we chose is completely awesome, and the best match for them.

 

We have one set of people for the twins. We just split it up between Dh's and my side of the family, though, between the kids. DD1 has my sister and my oldest SIL's DH. The twins have my BIL and my oldest SIL. My sister and her DH would get the girls if anything would happen to us, but we wanted both sides of the family involved. It got a little crazy, but it works.

We chose a couple for both boys, this way they would both get treated equally with the same attention and devotion and neither will get left out.

 

Originally we wanted one couple for both of the girls but then we decided to go with one couple for each of the girls and picked one married couple from each of our families. It worked out great. We based our decision on family members that were closed to us AND have taking interest in the babies by going out of their way to call and come by to see them - consistently.
