Are you happily planning your wedding day, but has the time come to ask your closest friends to be your godparents? Godparents play a very important role not only during the wedding but also throughout the newlyweds’ lives, as they are spiritual parents and part of the family.

What gifts can you give to those who are to become your godparents?

The most surprising requests to be godparents come through the simplest of words and gestures. To ensure the question is met with a resounding ‘yes’, you could offer them a premium gift that will always remind them of this moment: an engraved wine box. 

To perfectly complement the engraved box, we recommend choosing a bottle of wine with a personalised label. It’s a fresh, elegant, semi-dry wine in shades of rosé, white or red, or you could choose a sparkling wine. With both options, you can personalise the wine labels with your favourite photo, the godparents’ names and the much-anticipated question.

And if you’re looking for an original way to make the request, you can surprise them with a personalised jigsaw puzzle. Take the puzzle apart and let them discover for themselves what awaits them as they piece it together, one piece at a time. 

We also have a few ideas for godparent requests that make the gift for the upcoming event stand out in a classic and elegant way, such as wine accessory sets. Both practical and beautifully designed, they make a lovely addition to the future godparents’ home. The chess set with accessories and the wine accessory set are among the most popular choices for a truly special gift!

If your future godparents have children, you should bear this in mind and round off the gift with a little surprise for them too. You could give each child – whether a little girl or boy – a cute little mug, showing just how great love can be within a family.

Finally, we’re here to help with a few messages for godparents, which we hope will help you give the most inspired gifts:

- “Godparents for a day, friends for life!”

- “We need a bit of encouragement, some advice, a bit of support. That’s why we’ve chosen you to be our godparents!”

- “Drawn to one another / We’ve even found ourselves some godparents / She – a snob and I a snob / I – reduced to a slave to the wheelbarrow”

- “From carefree to penniless, from single to taken, from alone to married. That’s how we’ve come to want you as our godparents.”

- “We don’t know the date yet, but we know for sure that we want you to be our godparents.”

- “My godmother is a real homemaker, busier than a bee!”

- “Godparents are the ones who bring strength to the family and the warmth of friendship.”

- “Godparents are the family you can choose for yourself. We’d be delighted to have you by our side on this journey called life.”

- “Come rain or shine / We come to the godparents’ house to celebrate / For they are proud and beautiful / May they be in good health”

- “Good godparents, God works wonders”

We hope we’ve inspired you a little – good luck with coming up with the most original requests!
