    BG u hit the nail on the head... thankyou

    i was going to have my bestie as the godmother but it seems she has a new found interest in DP and frankly i think its abit innapropriate for her to have such an important role.

    Hollye - you have obviously put alot of thought into it - good for you hun.

    Yes, to be baptised one of the godparents need to be catholic - and poo poo DP's parents if they get upset - there is more to being a godparent than just standing up there on the day - it's about being a positive influence on the child's life (not just religious!) and being there for them if they need you down the track.

    I was christened anglican, DH's family are catholic and my kids have been baptised catholic too - but we don't get to church every week either - about once a month at the moment especially with bubs.

    I was not implying at all that you shouldn't have her baptised if you aren't strict catholic, I wouldn't judge just on the info in this thread alone!!

    You can tell Matt's parents they have their special title as grandparents and no-one can stand in for that one

    Yes, act quickly for your dates!
