Christening Question

My sister is going to be the Godmother to my Nephew. She wants to know if it is customary as Godmother to purchase him a cross as his gift????

The oldest boy has a gold cross.
She wants to know if she can get him a silver one, or should it be gold? (Italian Catholic Mother)

Thanks!
I appreciate your help!

I didn't get a cross for my godson for his christening. The Godfather got him that. I got him a Gold ID bracelet and a ring...not much jewelry you can get for a boy...Chat Icon But I also bought him his christening outfit with all the accessories as it is a customary for the godmother to do that.

Re: Christening Question

Usually the Godmother buys the christening outfit and the Godfather buys the cross. I would ask the baby's mother.

Re: Christening Question

I think it is customary for the godmother to purchase the cross. My sons God mother did this and she bought him white gold, which I think is ok as well and they come from a very italian fmaily.

I detest yellow gold anyway.

That's what happened for my son's christening as well and I've seen most typically.

I am my nephews Godmother. I bought him a Christening outfit and I got him savings bonds for his christening.
