It is my husbands brothers child that is being christened this weekend and my husband has been asked to be godfather. For the gift we have bought a beautiful silver piano musical jewelry box, but who do i have it engraved from? Not sure if it should just be from my hubby as godfather or from the two of us as a couple, or from us and the kids too???? i was thinking just engraving to her from him on the box, but writing all names in the card. Please help, i have never been to a chirstening before and so have no idea. Thanks xx
I’m not sure if there is an official rule… As a godfather, going forward until the child is an adult, your husband will probably give special gifts to the child that will be from him (not the whole family). It sounds like this gift will be a keepsake, so it might be extra meaningful for it to be engraved to the child from her godfather.
I assume the card says "happy christening" or something to that effect, and since those wishes will be from the whole family, I would vote that all names can be signed on the card.

the gift should be from both of you
you are married and when a man and women
marry they become as one
you can engraves like this
we love you xxx
love you godfather xxx and aunt xxx
you could get one of those precious moments bibles
that come in pink and blue
and have your kids wright their names in it fore the child
