We bought a small gift for ds' godparents and we got them personalised candles with the date, etc and a picture of ds on the front, and a personalised poem to each godparent on the back

Good one Danni! I like that one -

Rachel the poem idea is fantastic - memento's like that are always special - because even though it's just 'words', it's words that you feel reflect the people you have chosen and what special role they will play in your child's life... Oh i love that idea!

Saz - the best idea is to choose someone you know will be "around". We decided not to go with family as both my brothers are under sixteen, and DF's sister is a little 'snot-faced brat' (charming anthony!). As for extended family, aunts, cousins, etc - they either weren't old enough, weren't exactly supportive of the pg in the first place, or just not people that speak to us at all in general.
We figured that with our ages friends were a bit risky, but the ones we have chosen have been a great deal of support to us throughout the tough times we had last year, also have had very catholic/religious parents themselves, and we knew that they would be the sort of people who would 'appreciate' such an opportunity, iykwim.
