jessiehone


So my friend asked me to be the godmother of her son,and i am not sure what to get him? Her mother is getting his outfit,so i can't get that..And also what should i wear? It's the middle of summer i was thinking just nice dress pants and like a nice button up shirt.It's a lutheran baptism if that matters any.


Answer
You wear what you would normally wear to church; if you aren't a regular church goer wear what you would wear to an interview.

As to gifts, you could give a commemorative Bible where significant dates can be entered; a cross, a commemorative frame, a throw with baby's name and the baptism date embroidered on it, a bond or other money to plan for baby's earthly future.

What should I bring and wear to a Lutheran infant baptism?

Q. I'm a Baptist (northern), and the church I go to is very informal. We don't believe in infant baptisms, so I don't know what would be customary for me to wear or bring to one. I'd probably bring a teddy bear with a cross, or a book of bible stories, the problem is the family the baby is in isn't religious at all. They're just getting him baptized to please their parents. What would be a good present to bring? How nice should I dress? Can you explain a little about Lutheran's beliefs?


Answer
I don't know anything about Lutheran beliefs. But it would be courteous to dress nice, and bring a gift for the baby. A nice baby blanket is an appropriate gift and always appreciated. Or, you could open a savings account with some money in it for the child's college education.
