Already gone through the tricky decision process of choosing who you want to be your child\u2019s godparents? After all, it is a pretty big deal as these are the people who\u2019ll take on the responsibility of being a role model for your child. Given that it\u2019s such a special moment between you and those closest to you, you might want to make it extra sentimental or fun. So if you\u2019ve been wondering how to ask someone to be a godparent, we\u2019re here to help with just that!<\/p>\n
Nowadays, there is more involved with having a baby than ever before with babymoons and gender reveals\u2026 and that\u2019s all before you\u2019ve even given birth! We understand that you\u2019re probably exhausted from all of that and already have a lot on your plate with a new baby. Or perhaps you\u2019re getting ready to pop soon and are just being prepared. So, to help make things easier for you, we\u2019ve come up with all sorts of godparent proposal ideas.<\/p>\n
A godparent, sometimes known as a guide parent, is basically the person your child will turn to for support other than you guys, the parents.<\/p>\n
While there aren\u2019t really any specific responsibilities that come with being a godparent, they will play a big role in your child\u2019s life. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important you take your time when deciding who to choose and it also provides the perfect excuse for making a big deal out of asking them! (Something the team here at thortful love to do.)<\/p>\n
Once you\u2019ve picked who you would like to be the godparents, it\u2019s time to take the final step and ask them. If you\u2019re looking for more sentimental or thoughtful ideas for asking potential godparents, here are a few that only require a little bit of preparation on your end but will make their heart feel full.<\/p>\n
Simply find a card to your liking such as these and write out a touching note inside in your neatest handwriting. Don\u2019t stress if you\u2019re struggling to come up with the words yourself, as always, we\u2019ve got you covered:<\/p>\n
See if they can take the hint by filling up a box of baby essentials for them to keep at their house, ready for when they\u2019re doing babysitting duties. You can go out and grab a bottle, dummy, nappies, and a baby grow to put inside. And just so your intentions are super clear, you can write something like \u2018will you be my guide parent\u2019 on some paper at the bottom of the box.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re feeling extra artsy then you can always get a plain box and decorate it yourself, feel free to go wild!<\/p>\n
Got a special lady you\u2019re simply dying to ask? If you want to make it a moment to remember, here are a couple of extra special ideas that you can use to ask, \u201cwill you be my godmother\u201d.<\/p>\n
Most likely an idea best suited for potential future godmothers, but a lovely piece of jewellery like a bracelet or necklace is a beautiful way to ask someone if they\u2019ll take on the role of godparent. Whether you keep it simple or choose to get it personalised with a sweet message such as \u2018fairy godmother\u2019.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s not to say you can\u2019t do the same for the men! You could even add a bit of humour and have some jewellery, maybe a dog tag, engraved to say, \u2018the godfather\u2019. Whatever you decide to do, this is going to be something that they treasure forever.<\/p>\n
Present them with their very own fairy godmother wand
\nTaking full inspiration from Cinderella, a super cute way to ask \u2018will you be my godmother\u2019 is by giving them their very own magical fairy godmother wand! Alas, this won\u2019t actually have any real magical qualities but that doesn\u2019t mean they can\u2019t pretend it does when your child is round at their house.<\/p>\n
And to top it off, we have this special\u00a0fairy godmother\u00a0card<\/a>!<\/p>\n Now, we couldn\u2019t forget about the men! Whether it\u2019s your partner\u2019s childhood best mate or just another guy in your life who\u2019s stepped up and deserves the title, we\u2019ve got a couple of ideas on how you can put forward the question, \u201cwill you be my godfather?\u201d.<\/p>\n Obviously, we want to be promoting good parenting habits here and a boozy baby bottle for the little one is most definitely a no-go. However, for a bit of fun, one way you could surprise the potential future godfather is by filling a baby bottle with their favourite type of booze.<\/p>\n Might be worth adding a note alongside the bottle just to make sure your intentions are super clear and that he doesn\u2019t just think it\u2019s an extremely random (and slightly weird) gesture.<\/p>\n If you\u2019ve seen some of our cards, you know we can\u2019t pass up on a good pun opportunity! That\u2019s exactly why we\u2019re going down the mafia route with a Godfather-themed proposal idea straight from the iconic films.<\/p>\n Our idea is pretty straightforward, although you can definitely put your own spin on it for extra dramatic effect. All you need to do is invite him over to your place and \u2018make him an offer he can\u2019t refuse\u2019. We reckon a black and gold gift box and card complete with a bow tie and box of cigars will do the job.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t forget to practice your Marlon Brando impression beforehand!<\/p>\n Are you wanting to make the occasion more memorable? Looking for ways to ask that are unique and fun, but struggling to come up with anything yourself? We\u2019ve come up with some extra fun ways to ask godparents to be a big part of your child\u2019s life that just need a little bit of planning in advance.<\/p>\n Much like getting engaged, why not officially pop the question to the godparents? Take them out for a fancy dinner or another spot that you share with them, get down on one knee and open a ring box to reveal\u2026 a dummy!<\/p>\n All that\u2019s left is to say the magic words, either \u201cwill you be my godmother\u201d or \u201cwill you be my godfather\u201d will do the job. Exactly how you go about doing this is totally up to you, but no matter what you do, we\u2019re certain they\u2019re going to remember this moment.<\/p>\n Another way of making your godparent proposal fun is by having them solve some sort of a puzzle. One way you could do this is by giving them a personalised jigsaw puzzle which includes a secret message asking them if they\u2019ll be a godparent once complete. Plus, they can also keep the jigsaw as a sweet reminder of the moment they found out!<\/p>\n Alternatively, you could sort out some sort of a fun scavenger hunt where the prize at the end is a fitting gift like a personalised baby grow with the words \u201cwill you be my godparent\u201d on it. What a splendid idea!<\/p>\n Hopefully, we\u2019ve helped answer the question of how to ask someone to be a godparent and you\u2019re now filled to the brim with all sorts of godparent proposal ideas.
