Whether when the baby is already born or while he is still in the womb, you will have an important decision ahead: choose his (a) godparents. Regardless of the reasons that led you and your partner to choose these people, once the decision is made, of course you will have to think of a cool way to tell them. So if you are living through this phase and you are in need of some ideas, you are in the right place. We’ll give you several suggestions for invitations for baptism godparents, with simple, elaborate, cheap, creative options and much more, for you to choose the one that most suits you and the lucky ones!
Photos and Invitation Ideas for Godparents of Baptism
Your child’s godparents are certainly special people for you and that’s why they deserve a great surprise. There are several types of invitations for baptism godparents, but the cool thing when choosing is to take into account the style and the personality of the chosen ones.
Simple / Cheap
If you’re short on budget to make this surprise, you can rest assured! There are several options to consider and that will certainly make the godparents very happy.
A super cheap and simple tip to make is a candy box. In each of the candies you put a word and together, they must form a sentence, inviting the recipient (a) to baptize your child (a). Another even more economical idea is to attach a balloon to a card and do a step by step. The future godmother (or godfather) must fill the balloon, pop it and find the message that was inside the balloon.
Another special tip is to make a personalized card and draw the baby’s feet or hands on it. You can even spice up the present with a photo of the godfather or godmother with the future godson. Also, how about using a very beautiful message and printing it in a heart shape? Then just put it on a board and deliver it to the chosen ones.
Different / Creative
If you want to break out of the norm and take a little more risk with groomsman invitations, there are several creative ways to make this request. A cool idea is to bet on the relationship of words with some movies. For example, there are several features with fairy godmothers, not to mention the classic The Godfather, whose original title in English is the goodfather, which means The Godfather.
With this idea in mind, how about giving a box with cigar to the godfather and enjoy a cool phrase from the movie?
And not to forget the godmother, how about a wand for her to do all possible magic for her daughter (o)?
But it’s not just on the subject that you can innovate. There are several gifts-invitations that can be given to future godparents, such as bottoms, key chains, pillows, pendants, wines, among others!

Now it’s time for you to learn how to make simple and amazing christening invitations!
With video
Have you ever seen invitations to video christening godparents? If not, don’t imagine what you’re missing! They are very cute and simple to make! All you need is a camera, bond sheets, black permanent marker, a little help from your husband and, of course, your baby.

Since when I was in my mother’s belly, I already felt her affection for me!
You can use and abuse your creativity to make a super cool message for them. Then just put the sheets in order and ask someone to help you shoot. Put your child on the bed and as soon as the camera starts recording, pass the sheets one by one. Want to see a video template like this? Just click here!
Box
If you like crafts, you’ll love this tip. To make invitation boxes for christening godparents, you will need:
To start, use the diplomat paper to make the box, as per the mold. Cut out the paper, start to fold and use the glue stick to fix. When your base is ready, take the part that will be the cover and write a message to the sponsors. Then make the folds and glue the edges together. Take the remaining square from the mold and make a fold. Then, mark 4 centimeters on the paper and make another fold (forming a T), so that this sheet is the base of your divider. Then repeat the procedure with the rectangles and place them in the box. Now, just decorate your box as you see fit. One idea is to use the tag templates, glue them to the lid, using banana tape. Then place an angel design on top and finish with pearls. To see the complete DIY, click here.
little hand mug
To make an invitation mug, you will need:
- Permanent Pen;
- Mold;
- Brush tool;
- Varnish;
- White mug.
To get started, make a mold of your baby’s hands. Then cut it out and place it on the mug. Use the permanent pen to draw the picture and to write a message to the sponsors. Once ready, place in the oven for 20 minutes at low temperature. Finally, use the brush to apply the varnish and let it dry. To check out a full mug PaP, click here.
Surprise box
This tip is quite common for Valentine’s Day gifts, but you’ll see how nice it is for groomsmen invitations as well. To get started you will need:
- Small cardboard box;
- Spray paint;
- Ruler;
- Paper in the color of your choice;
- White glue;
- Pen;
- Photos;
- Satin ribbon;
- Double-sided tape;
- Decorative items.
First, paint your box with spray paint and let it dry. Then measure it and cut the paper based on those measurements. If your box is, for example 8 x 8 cm, cut the paper with 8 x 25 cm (8 times 3, plus 1 cm). Remember that the amount of paper you will need to cut is directly linked to the amount of messages and photos you will put in the box. Assuming you have made three 8 x 25 cm strips, mark an inch on each of them, apply glue to it, and join one strip to the other. That way you will have a material measuring 8 x 72 centimeters.
Now is the time to paste your photos and write your messages. Don’t forget to make each of them at an interval of 8 x 8 cm. Then, fold the paper to form a kind of accordion. Glue the back of the last message and glue it to the bottom of the box. Also apply glue to the remaining 1cm strip at the beginning of your accordion and glue to the inside of the lid. Apply the double-sided tape to the lid of your box and place the satin ribbon over the top, cutting out the leftovers. Repeat the process, forming a cross. Finally, you can use bows, pearls or other decorative items. Want to see a complete walkthrough of a box like this? Click here!
homemade invitation
Another idea you can use to invite the godmother and godfather is testing the baby’s sex. Of course, in that case, your child may not be born yet. To realize this idea, just make a copy of your exam and at the end (or on the back of the sheet) write a sentence inviting the person to baptize your baby. Youtuber Kathy Castricini made a video showing 3 different ways to make this invitation and from 10 seconds of the sixth minute, you can check the reaction of the godmother who read the exam.
The other two forms, you’ve already seen during our text: an invitation by video and one by box, but if you want to check the reaction of those chosen, just watch from 11 minutes and 10 seconds and from 13 minutes and 50 seconds.
