Choosing God Parents

Dena526 · December 2013

I've just been thinking about this - for twins, do you choose one set of God parents for both children or choose two sets of God parents?
My cousin has twin girls & she has two sets of God parents and a friend of mine did the same for her twin boys. Maybe it's personal preference? Just looking for some opinions. Thanks

I think its a personal choice and depends what you believe.
1) god parents are responsible for your childs faith, and helping them along.
2) your god parents will be caregivers of your children if yhe worst should happen to you.

We believe option 1, so all our children will have their own special god parents... Good luck!

We plan to have a different set for each child, just like if they had been born a few years apart.

We have different God parents for each child. It's just personal preference.

All three of mine have separate godparents.

We have one set for both. For our children, we want godparents who will play an active role in their faith formation, and who we're confident will be a part of our lives long term. That narrows down the number of couples quite a bit, for us at least! Since we hope to have a larger family we will probably end up "recycling" godparents at some point anyway.

Still, I did go back and forth on it a bit. In the end it really is just a personal choice.

We've decided on one set of God parents for both. Our choices are slim so that is why. My sister and BIL are DD1s and they are God parents to two other family members. I talked it over with my sister first to make sure she wouldn't be upset if we asked my best friend (since 1st grade) and her husband.
