El Bautizo: The Gifts for the Day the Baby Gets Padrinos
A bautizo starts weeks before the church: choosing the padrinos, asking them in person, picking the white ropón. It ends with a party, a lot of food and a new set of compadres for life. Every step has a gift.
1. Asking the padrinos
You don't ask over text. You ask in person, with something in your hands: the ¿Quieres ser mi madrina? or ¿Quieres ser mi padrino? mug, or Promoted to Madrina and Promoted to Padrino. See the asking mugs.
2. What the padrinos cover
In many familias the padrinos bring the ropón, the vela and the rosary, and some help with the party. Here's what padrinos usually pay for at a baptism. Shop padrino and madrina gifts.
3. El bolo after the church
Outside the church, the padrino throws coins for the kids to scramble after. It's loud, it's fast, and it's the part every primo remembers. Read about el bolo. See the Padrino Más Chingón tee.
4. The baby's outfit for the party
The ropón is for the church. For the party after, the baby needs something easier: Cielito Lindo, Carmelito or Hecho con Amor y Frijoles. Shop baby onesies.
