Add godparent on day of christening.

[Oneandabean]

So we’re getting my little one christened tomorrow and we’ve picked the godparents. But there’s been a friend that has really put effort in to being in her life but there was only 3 spaces on the form and so I didn’t write his name down. It’s been eating away at me since, so I was wondering if anyone had asked the reverend on the day to add another godparent did they allow it?

I wouldn't have been allowed to do that. Godparents' names were entered in parish records a week or so beforehand and I'd had to confirm they were baptised themselves.

@DappledThings we only met with the reverend on Thursday to go over everything so I don’t think my church is as organised. I know he’s baptised so that’s not an issue.

I’m a godparent that was added on the day. Asfaik, Friends husband asked the priest if it was ok, filled in a form and all was totally fine

Email the vicar now and see what they say.

MIL forced us to add SIL on the morning of the Christening of one of our DC it was unfortunately not an issue.

I was added by a sibling on the day. Definitely fine in the C of E church we were at.
