Re: How to ask God Parents??
I think it depends on what "God Parent" means to you. I say that because it means different things to different people. With my Goddaughter, her family isn't extremely religious, and she has a grandmother who if something ever happened to her parents, it would be likely her grandmother would want to step in and raise her. (Obviously, I'd still be a HUGE part of her life). So when I was asked to be her Godmother it was more of an honorary title, and getting to be someone special in her life.
Eliana's Godparents are the people whom we'd want to raise her if something happened to us, and we placed them in our will as her legal guardians should something happen to us. So when we asked them, we waited until she was here, and because it was such a big responsibility we had a more serious conversation about it. Being a Godparent is a super cool job, but we wanted to make sure they were on the same page/up for it before we asked.
I know when I was growing up (I was raised Lutheran- close to Catholic) my Godparents were asked to "take on my sins" until I was old enough to repent them- being that my family and they were quite religious, again it was a semi-heavy/serious topic.
So I guess my question before suggesting idea's would be what your definition of Godfather would be- since that kind of sets the tone.
Sorry if that was way off topic
It will be more for an honorary title and not to take over guardianship if we both passed...............
We still aren't sure to ask for that. UGH!
x2 what Jenn said.
My best friend of 15+ years asked me to be her daughters Godmother as an honorary thing. I accepted fully knowing that her parents would become legal guardians of her if something were to happen.

If you, or someone you know is photoshop savvy, you could incorporate the movie.."The God Father" with Marlon Brando. Like use or model it after the movie poster and edit out Brando, add your DH's friend and perhaps an ultra-sound pic to it? Get creative and make it baby themed, but it also ties in a movie that is really popular with guys : )
I just asked Jenn the next time I saw her in person to be Bella's godmother (which happened to be at her bridal shower - lol - I was just hoping I wasn't taking away from the purpose of the event. But she didn't seem to mind). ;-)
And like Jenn said, we are not religious, and my mom would be my first choice to raise Bella if something ever happened to us. So, I just asked her, and she happily said yes. And she's been the best godmother I could have asked for for our daughter. They have a special relationship.
