Tips for Success
*For these godfather and godmother proposal cards, you will need the free godparents’ scratch-off card template, acrylic paint, dish soap, clear packing tape, scissors, and a paintbrush.
*When creating DIY scratch-off cards you can use any color of acrylic paint. To make your scratch-off cards look as authentic as possible metallic gold or silver paint looks the best. To give your scratch-off cards a more thematic look you can also use different colors of choice as shown in the photos.
*Mixing the dish soap with the paint makes sure that it is easy to scratch off yet doesn’t crack and come off on its own. Do not skip this step or your project will not turn out.
*Clear packing tape works best for this project. You can use traditional scotch tape but be warned you will have tape lines in your heart images that you can see when painted. You may also have to scratch more gently so you don’t pick up the sides and wreck the underneath image when scratching.
Some other fun ways to ask someone to be a godparent include giving them the movie “the Godfather,” giving them a copy of Cinderella with a note about being a “Fairy Godmother,” or creating or purchasing matching godparent and godbaby t-shirts. You could also purchase a godmother or godfather mug or necklace and give it to them with the fun godparent scratch offs below.
What Should You Say When Asking Someone to Be Godparents?
When asking someone to be a godparent you could write a cute poem, purchase or make a homemade item or card, or just ask them flat out. If asking with a card or poem be sure to include the baby’s name, the baptism date (if known), and the job you desire from them. You can also include a personal joke, memory, or anything else that fits.
