Baptism questions...
We are having our baby girl baptized on Valentine's Day, and I have some questions. We are Presbyterian, but we haven't been to a baptism at our church. We are meeting with the pastor on Thursday. Who do we invite to the church, just close family and friends? Then, we were thinking of having people back to my parents' house for brunch or lunch. We are planning on having DH's brother and my sister be godparents. Anyone have any ideas of something special to do for them? Any tips would be appreciated. TIA

Re: Baptism questions...
You can invite anyone you want to the church. We had my parents, DH's mom, my brother, his best friend(and family) and my best friend(and family.)
I am the godmother to my friend's son and she did not do anything for me at the baptism. I think it's more common for the godparent to give something to the godchild, not the other way around. At least in my circle of family and friends.
I agree with pp for the most part. My family is huge and local, and we are a big, Irish Catholic family, so our baptisms are huge, and ridiculous, lol. So, it is whatever you want. Don't feel obligated to invite anyone you don't want.
As for the godparents, I have four godchildren, and I always got the godchildren gifts, but I don't know if they got me anything or not. I really can't remember. If you want to do something little, what if you got eac of them a picture frame (could be engraved if you prefer) and then promise each of the the godparents a picture of them with the baby at the baptism. I would have loved that.
Thanks for the tips. I think a picture would be nice for them.
