I figured we would get them something- but now that I know its not the norm, I am excited! More $$ to spend on LO!</p> <p>@shinymama: you are right! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baptism-menu-and-godparent-gift#post-1166698 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 16:08:31 +0000 Smurfette 1166698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Menu sounds great! We didn't do gifts and I have never heard of it actually. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baptism-menu-and-godparent-gift#post-1166686 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 16:04:08 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1166686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Your menu sounds good. No need for God parents to receive gifts. The baby gets gifts; not adults. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baptism-menu-and-godparent-gift#post-1166670 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 15:56:14 +0000 shinymama 1166670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Food sounds delicious and plenty. No need for a gift for the godparents, since you've already entrusted them with your most precious being. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baptism-menu-and-godparent-gift#post-1166664 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 15:54:21 +0000 cheert16 1166664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>B is getting baptized next weekend - the ceremony is at 1:00pm on a Sunday afternoon. I figure we will be done by 3- not dinnertime and not lunchtime. We are holding a reception after for our family and friends.<br /> Does this sound ok for a menu ?<br /> Appetizers- Warm Onion Dip, and Cheese/Cracker spread<br /> Meal- Deli sandwiches, homemade chicken noodle soup, green salad, maybe a second type of salad<br /> Dessert- Homemade cake (undecided on flavor... too many ideas!), Italian cookies (made by my family), maybe an apple crisp?</p> <p>What do you think? Thoughts? Too much, too little? </p> <p>Also- did you buy your child's godparents a present? If so- what did you give them? </p>
