Greek Baptism Gift
We are invited to a Greek Baptism in a couple weeks and am curious what the proper gift is. I am Lutheran and do not know anything about Greek Orthodox. I didnt really want to give money as the parents arent married so I kinda feel like one of them will just pocket it. The child is a girl if that matters. Can anyone give me any advice on that?

Re: Greek Baptism Gift
Hi Fellow Lutheran,
I sat and thought about this one for awhile. What about a nice picture frame to remember the day? The couple could put in a pic of the godparents and the baby or whatever. Or an etched plate with her name, DOB and BAP dates?
You don't need the child's social security number any more. You could put your soc. # on it. There is even a space to check off when you don't know the child's soc. #.
I would also put yourself as the other name on the bond. Whoever the other person is on the bond can cash it.
We asked when we were getting bonds at a bank for a cousin's child.
I always get a savings bond and a children's book of prayers or bible stories.
Ask the parent what their ss# is if you don't want to put your # on.
why are you even going then? clearly you're MUCH better than they are, and shouldn't have to waste your time with petty criminals who steal from their own kids.

I didn't realize I could use my name with the child's. I've never bought a bond before and just assumed it had to be the parents name and child's name. That's how all of mine were but I had never actually looked into it. I didn't really want to ask the parents for their ssn so that is a good alternative!
These are good ideas, I may go with a bond and pic frame. I just didn't know what was customary for Greeks and if they had a specific tradition for baptisms I would've like to stick to that.
