What to wear for a baby's baptism?
The first thing you need to do is check what's in your closet. Godmother can then enhance her outfit and wear it to the baptism. Creating a modest, delicate, and kind appearance is key while dressing for such a wedding.
For christenings, it is not appropriate to wear only white or ivory. You can wear whatever you choose to wear, including white and other pastel hues! In fact, it's fairly common for both the godmother or mother and the infant to wear white.
Christenings are religious ceremonies, thus it's important to present yourself humbly.
To do this, stay away from short skirts, low-cut outfits, and transparent clothing.
Since you will be standing for the majority of the ceremony, wear comfortable shoes.
Godmother should wear also a church veil or mantilla - that Battesimo produces many of these,
so you may have a look here - Veils, Mantillas and Church Wear.

Which presents from Godmother are most popular
Traditionally, baptismal gifts are chosen to give the infant a secure start in life. Given that a larger variety of gifts are now considered appropriate, the kind of relationship you have with the infant and the family should be represented in the gift you select. Godparents traditionally gave silver presents such spoons, baptismal cups, and rattles to celebrate a child's baptism. Gifts made of silver that the baby can use as an adult, including silver picture frames and jewelry, are becoming popular among godparents.
Being a godparent is a religious obligation, but in certain religions today, this role signifies a broader commitment to a child's wellbeing. Because of this, the baby's godparents and other family members will decide to give them money that can be put in a savings account as a contribution to the baby's future.
Parents will be delighted with gifts that the baby and the family can use and enjoy, despite their love for traditional religious gifts.
If you are worried about purchasing a gift with a religious theme or don't want to donate money, think about giving a wonderful and traditional toy, such a rocking horse, which may become an heirloom and will provide enjoyment to future generations.
Handmade baby blankets, photo albums, and original artwork are some more presents that are enduring.
