I think it's fine to have 2 Godmothers & you could have 2 Godfathers aswell if you found the right ones. I don't think there are any "rights or wrongs" when it comes to choosing Godparents. For our DD it was a very easy choice for us, we chose 2 of our friends from church who are married & close friends of ours (also have the same beliefs as us which is a plus). We didnt choose any family even though my older sister chose me as a Godmother to one of her sons. (She had my twin sister & I plus her DH's little brother... so 2 Godmothers & 1 Godfather for that son).

I think you'll always have family feeling a little "ripped off" so to speak if they're not chosen over friends. I think the main thing is for the Godparents to be people you are 100% happy with & they are everything you want in a Godparent.

I could easily let my older sister be Godmother to my DS as a payback so to speak from her making me Godmother but we want to choose people who like us are practising Catholics, my sister isn't. She is Catholic but not practising & it's our right to choose.

Don't feel bad about not choosing family over friends if they dont match your criteria. They'll get over it! it's hard enough choosing people without having to worry about offending those who will miss out.

Good luck! (We'll need to start seriously considering Godparents again soon too!!!)
