DH and I are both catholics.
We had our christening date sent out the invites and still couldn't agree with god parents.
I wanted people that we would still see in 20 years time and thought that family was the best decision (although a close friend was alittle put out)
In the end our little girl ended up with 2 godmothers and no god fathers.
We are happy with our decision as we see the godparents most weeks.
