About these Godparent Proposal Cards

Asking someone to be godmother or godfather is a real question, not an admin detail, and it is usually asked months before the church is booked. A card makes it an occasion rather than a text message, and it gives the person something to keep once they have said yes. Most are bought in pairs, one for each godparent, and they are handed over at a family dinner or posted to a sister living abroad.

The wording is printed with your own phrasing before the card is made, so it can carry the baby's name, the date if it is known, or the line you would rather say out loud than write in biro afterwards. Cards are A5 or A6 on heavyweight cardstock with an envelope, from €3.90, blank inside for the message that follows the question.

Printed and packed by hand in Mallow, County Cork, dispatched in 2 to 4 working days by An Post. Once the day is set, see christening and baptism invitations, christening favours and baptism cards.

Good to know

Your questions, answered

Everything you need to know before you personalise a card.

How does personalising work?

On the product page there's a box for the name, age or wording you want. Some designs add that text into the printed design itself, others leave the inside blank for you to write by hand. Each product page says which one it is.

Can I see a proof before it's printed?

For a straightforward name and date, I print without a separate proof. If your wording is longer or unusual, message me first and I'll confirm it before it goes to print.

What if I spot a typo after I've ordered?

Message me as soon as you can. If it hasn't gone to print yet I can fix it for free. Once it's printed and dispatched, a replacement is a paid reprint.

What foil colours do you offer?

Gold, silver, rose gold and holographic, plus gold holographic on some designs, I have over 30 foil color to choose from. Each product page shows which colours are available for that card.

Which size should I pick?

A6 is the standard card size and A5 is roughly double, better when the design carries a lot of wording or you want it to feel like a keepsake.

How long before it arrives?
  1. Made to order and dispatched within 2-4 working days, then standard An Post delivery within Ireland.
