Three steps to ask your godparents

Will you be my godmother — ideas for the ask
The sweetest cards are short, specific and signed from the baby. Five ways to put the question.
Sign it from the baby
"I'm still tiny, but I already know who I want by my side." Writing in the child's voice turns a request into a keepsake.
Say why them
One concrete line — the way she shows up, the way he makes everyone laugh — lands harder than any general compliment.
Name the role, not just the title
"Someone to spoil her, steady her and take her side" tells your friend what you're really asking of them.
Keep the faith part honest
For a church baptism, mention the ceremony and date; for a secular naming day, say guide-parent or guardian — the card works for both.
End with the date
Close with the christening date and church or venue, so the question and the invitation arrive in one card.
Turning the ask into a small gift
Most godparents-to-be get the question tucked into something — a box, a frame, a tiny pair of socks.
The card on top
Whatever you wrap, the card goes where it's read first — the question is the gift; everything underneath is decoration.
Something tiny
A pair of newborn socks or a tiny bodysuit with the card gets the point across before a single word is read.
A photo of them with the baby
If they've already met your child, a printed photo of the two of them says most of what the message needs to.
Something for the day
A candle for the ceremony or a small frame for the christening photo quietly hands over the first piece of the day itself.
Asking godparents — FAQs
Everything parents ask before popping the question.
Are these will you be my godmother cards really free?
The card maker is free: design a card and download a PNG or print-ready PDF without an account or watermark. Hosted camera.wedding photo albums are a separate paid product; creating card artwork does not include album hosting.
When should you ask the godparents?
As soon as you've set the christening date — godparents are usually asked two to four months ahead, so they can plan to be there and, for a church baptism, gather any paperwork the parish asks for.
What should I write in a godparent proposal card?
Two or three lines: why them, what the role means to you, and the date. The tool includes heartfelt, fun and simple message styles you can use as written or edit — signing it from the baby is the touch people remember.
Who can be a godparent?
It depends on the setting. Catholic parishes typically ask for at least one baptized, confirmed Catholic godparent and may have age or sacrament requirements — your parish has the final word. For a secular naming ceremony, anyone you trust can take the role, often called a guide-parent.
Can we ask a couple to be godparents together?
Yes — choose "Godparents" in the tool and the card asks them as a pair. Asking a couple together is common, and one card to the two of them makes a lovely shared keepsake.
Can I send the card by WhatsApp or text instead of printing?
Yes. The PNG download attaches to a text, WhatsApp or email like any photo, and on most phones the Share button sends it straight from this page. Faraway godparents get the question the same day you decide.
What size is the printed card?
The PDF is a standard 5×7″ card (12.7 × 17.8 cm) — it fits standard envelopes and gift boxes, and any print shop or home printer handles it. The PNG is the same card at high resolution for screens.
