Gracias, Padrinos: The Gift for the People Who Said Yes
Somebody had to buy the lazo. Somebody held the arras, carried the baby to the font, paid for the quinceañera's last doll and stood up front the whole time. Padrinos don't get a thank-you card and a handshake. In our familias they become compadres for life, and they deserve a gift that says so.
1. At the boda, every padrino has a job
Padrinos de velación, de anillos, de arras, de lazo, de cojines, de ramo. Each one sponsors a piece of the ceremony, and a big boda can have ten of them. That's a lot of gracias to say at once, which is why the more padrinos you thank, the more you save. Here's the full list of padrinos de boda and what each one does. Shop padrino gifts.
2. At the bautizo, you gain compadres
The padrinos promise to help raise the baby in the faith, and from that day on the parents and padrinos are compadres. It's the kind of bond that shows up at every birthday, every graduation and every hard day after. The Padrino Más Chingón tee is our most-reviewed padrino gift: 16 Etsy reviews at 4.8★. See the Padrino Más Chingón tee.
3. At the quince, the padrinos made the night happen
Padrinos de vestido, de pastel, de la última muñeca. Every one of them covered something the familia couldn't do alone, and the quinceañera should thank each of them. Here's every quinceañera padrino role. Find a gift for each padrino.
4. The madrina gets her own
La Madrina Más Chingona tee, madrina mugs and the Tía Madrina mug for when she's both. The madrina is usually the one who checked on the baby every week and called before every exam. Shop madrina gifts.
5. And before all that, you have to ask
You don't ask someone to be a padrino over text. You ask in person, usually with a little something in your hands. The ¿Quieres ser mi padrino? and ¿Quieres ser mi madrina? mugs, and the Promoted to Padrino and Promoted to Madrina mugs, make the asking part of the memory. See the asking mugs.
