If your husband is the godfather and purchase the cross chain for like 150.00 are you suppose to give a gift on top of that?? We are a family of 2 adults and 2 toddlers

The party is at a restaurant in there private room. No DJ or anything just lunch

If I were the parents I would say that is more than enough. I’ve had 3 baptisms and that’s all my children got from their godfathers. And I never expected more.

thats all i would probably do. if i did give anything else it wouldn't be more than $75 but i would probably do $50.

my DH is a godfather and i think all we did give was the cross

We always give more but I’m sure we just over gift.

We’ve been godparents together two times. One time we got Gown, change into outfit, cross & chain and gave an extra $100. Second time we just had to get change into outfit, cross and keepsake hankie to use at her wedding, so we gave an extra $200.

For my godson, I split the cross with his godfather, bought his outfit and gave $100.

None of my kids received anything additional beyond the cross from their godfathers and I wouldn't have expected anything either. That's enough.
