What are a godmothers wedding responsibilities?

Answer 1

All she has to do is turn up for the Christening. Like a wedding there may be a rehearsal before. The Priest may have a discussion with the parents and the Godmother to express how important this position is. However, it is customary for the Godmother to give a gift (could be little spoon/fork, cup in silver; a baby's necklace with the cross on it.) My favorite is two little silver boxes ... one for the lock of the baby's hair and one for their first tooth that falls out. There are also silver (platted if you like) brush and comb sets.

Answer 2

The title of Godmother in the Western Culture means little. What it should mean is the fact that when parents choose Godparents for their children that either the Godmother, Godfather or both are there to be a part of that child's life and also to look after them should anything happen to their parents. If the Godmother is extremely close to her Goddaughter she still has absolutely no responsibility regarding the wedding unless she so chooses to get involved. It's up to the parents of the Bride (mainly) and the parents of the Groom. If you are very close then letting her sit at the head table with the rest of you would be a nice gesture.

Answer 3

I don't believe there are any specific responsibilities for godmothers in a wedding; it doesn't directly correlate with a wedding role. Technically, the role of a godmother is to provide spiritual guidance, although many people don't do this. If the godmother is actively participating in the religious path of the godchild, it would be appropriate to offer spritual advice about the union and how religion can be incorporated into the marriage.

For my wedding, I actually requested for my godmother to read a poem and she did. My godfather is the one that walked me down the aisle in my dad's absence.

Answer 4

The godparent is supposed to take the childeren or child if his/her parents are killed or otherwise become incapable of taking care of their kids anymore. Godparents have the responsibility to see that the child's parents bring the child up in the faith. They encourage the parents to take the child to church, and to teach the child to love God, and to be an upright citizen in the community.

Answer 5

The Godparents of a child used to be responsible for the upbringing and welfare of a child should the parents be killed or otherwise unable to care for the child. The main responsibility within the Christian church was to ensure that the child was raised in accordance with their religion.

Answer 6

The responsibilities are similar to parents during communion and in case of the death of the parents, godparents take a vow in the church to look after the child's health and welfare.
