What wedding gift should the godparents of the wedding bring?
* The Godparents can give a gift at the wedding reception on monetary value or ask the parents of the Godchild what they may need. It is quite appropriate to give what you can afford and not necessary to buy and extremely expensive gift. Many brides and grooms register for gifts at different stores so ask the brides parents where they are registered.

The gifts that have been bought will be ticked off and you will have to pick another. If you have a problem then ask the salesperson to help you.

They may be ill, too old, or have other problems that would make godparents unable to care for children.
