Asking Godmother

I would suggest that you ask her first and then, if she is agreeable, get that special gift. You don't want to make her feel "put on the spot".

My gift to you on this special time of year
Is to ask you to share this life with my precious daughter

To hold her hand and advise on this journey through life
A very special bond
That only a Godmother can have

I'm kind of with Lynn on this O.. I think you should ask her first then give her a small gift.

Do you have a picture of her? You could get a white picture frame paint the word Godmother on it and put a picture of your daughter and her in it. If she likes games you could get scrabble tiles and glue them to a piece of wood that spells out will you be my Godmother and have it come from your daughter. Just use your imagination and remember the real gift is trusting her enough to take care of your daughter if there ever was a need. The packaging will never be as special as the honor.

****You should ask FIRST and THEN using Bernie's (edited) post frame these words with a picture of your daughter, and perhaps yourself as well. ****

I agree with those who say ask first. I would have a problem with receiving the responsibility of the care of a child as a "gift". But that's just me.

If you are 100% sure she wants to be your daughters Godmother then I think you have great ideas here. But it's kind of like a public marriage proposal and you don't want her to feel forced to accept. I dont think it's a good idea unless you already know for sure she is fine with it.
I know I wouldnt want that job and would be freaked out if I became basically "appointed"..... see what I mean?
