Baptism/Christening/Dedication

[Lola]

If you had baptism (or similar event) what did you wear? Did you give gifts to the godparents?  Im slacking on addressing both of these things and need ideas!

I dedicated DS a couple years ago. We just had family be apart of the services. No Godparents. No gifts.

We have godparents. We gave no gifts (though did receive some). I wore a dress I got at Target because I didn't want to spend a lot on a dress I (hopefully) wouldn't fit in for long. For DS's baptism, I wore a maternity/nursing dress I really liked and hadn't worn much (though it was what I happened to be wearing when I went into labor with him).

We baptized DS1. I just wore churchy clothes. I don't remember what exactly. I think slacks and a nice shirt. No godparents. I'm a godmother and did receive a gift at the baby's baptism but I honestly can't remember what it was. lol

I wore a blue dress, DH wore his suit. We didn't do presents for the God parents I wrote her God Mother a thank you note and DH did the same for her God Father.

I wore a white top and black pants, DH wore a suit. We didn't give the godparents gifts, but they did give DD presents.

I wore dress pants and a nice shirt, but I was 8 weeks PP and it was chilly. Now I might wear a dress with a cardigan. But we are Catholic, so people usually expect the parents to look fancy. My husband wore a suit because he really wanted to.
The Godparents are our close friends. We bought them a $30 gift. Just as an appreciation gift. Nothing fancy. I honestly don't think it's necessary.
