Baptism/God parents ??

adoubleu12

Do you just have one set of God parents for both twins, or does each have its own set of God parents??

Also, how old were your multiples when you got them baptized?  

I was thinking of doing it sometime this summer.  I only lived up here for about a month before I got pregnant, and with all of the craziness I have not found an ELCA Lutheran church up here yet.  I don't want to go to a money sucking big chruch....  I will probably do the baptism down home, but I would like to raise my children to go to church, so I am hoping I find one soon.  Plus, having that as a support system would be nice!

We are stuck on this too.... well, have been stuck on it for awhile.  My girls are a year old and still haven't been baptized.  I've been putting it off because the godparent debate gets heated between hubby and I (I want people of the same faith, he wants aunts and uncles).  So, while I don't have any good advice as far as choosing godparents goes, I do strongly advise to get it done soon!  Now I have all this anxiety about baptizing one year olds and people wondering why I put it off.  I also have scheduled a meeting, one-on-one with my priest for guidance, even if that means taking my husband's suggestions into consideration.

My boys have 1 set of Godparents, because they were the only 2 people that are close to us that are practicing catholics. We both had our bestfriends as them.

 We got them baptized when the were 2 months and 1 week old.

We are having a different set of godparents for each (we have 4 siblings among us - luckily 2 sisters and 2  brothers).  This way no one is left out.  We are having them baptized the end of July - so depending on when they come they'll be about 2 months old.  The reason we have it set up now is because my sister lives in Seattle so we wanted to give her as much time as possible to make travel arrangements.

We have the same debate. We want DHs sister, but she's not comfortable having all 3, but we can't think of two other people!

We decided on one set of Godparents for both boys. My sister and brother-in-law they are the same faith as us. This was a hard decision for my husband bc he felt like I made the decision without him. My boys were baptized Easter Suunday. They were about 5 months. They are preemies so we have been confined to the house bc of rsv and flu season. This was our first official outing. It was really nice.

We had one set for both. It was just easier that way. They were baptised at 2 months old.

We have 4 sets.  I wanted each child to have their own special person as they have to share enough as it is.  They were baptized at 4 months.

DH's sisters (they are ID twins as well ) are going to be the Godparents for the girls in 2 weeks. My sister is an atheist and we don't really know anyone else we would ask. So my SILs will be the only Godparents.

The boys have three godparents each, all different people. All are family members except for one Tage's god moms (my Bff of 10 hrs). Our boys are preemies so we didn't get the ok from the pedi to do it until RSV season was over. They were baptized on april10th and were 5 months old.
