Negotiate with your parish. It is wise to start our preparation with contacting your parish. Find out about the seminars required from parents and godparents. It is important for everyone to understand the essence of this wonderful sacrament in the catholic faith. Some parishes do not restrict the number of the godparents but require at least be catholic.
Churches articulate that the collections they receive are allocated for pastoral works.
Please be sensible in realizing how church works and how important their ministry is towards the christening of your child. Traditionally, the white color represents purity and worthiness in the presence of God. Talk to your parish priest who has a good opinion on the issue of the color of baptismal garment on the ceremony. Good negotiations and referrals from your parish priest will provide clearer expectation and understanding on the questions. Baptism has the real family feel to it.
