Our daughter is being baptized and we are wondering if we are supposed to get the Godparent's a gift?

I think it is very appropriate. The Godparents have agreed to be a spiritual and religious leader, as well as support and friend for you daughter as she grows up. This is a big commitment. A small gift, such as maybe a gift card, or a small bouquet of flowers, would be a good sign of appreciation for such a commitment and dedication. If you feel uncomfortable buying them gifts, maybe take them out to a nice brunch or supper following the ceremony.
A baptism is about the child, or your daughter, but more than that it is about a COMMUNITY, the community of the church accepting your daughter into their christian family and vowing to help raise her as a disciple. The godparents represent this acceptance, and are the primary people in charge of this important and large task.

i'm thoroughly trust T.O., so a strategies as i understand we do not provide provides you to godparents. possibly you're giving out to the visitors some commeratives playing cards or memoirs of the baptism day. in case you with you promises to the godparents an similar because the others yet slightly higher than those take care of to all the different visitors. as an get jointly in case you provide a card with the image of the toddler and date of the baptism, church and call of oldsters and godparents, the only for the godparents will be an similar card through possibly in body, or slightly higher. wish it helps!

As far as I know, there is no need to buy the godparents a gift. Both my kids have been baptized and I didn't buy gifts for their godparents. The baptism is about your daughter. It is her day.

Not necessarily. I'm a godmother times 2 and don't recall receiving a gift at the christening. It is customary to give gifts to the godparents on their (godparent's) birthday and christmas/hannukah.

i don't think you're supposed to, but it would be a very nice gesture. perhaps matching crucifix necklace charms would be appropriate and very symbolic?
