The scallop shell has long been a symbol of baptism. This engraved wood shell turns that symbol into the question itself: a simple way to ask someone to stand beside your child as a godmother, godfather or godparents, in English or in Spanish.

Choose the wording

  • Asking shell (English): "Will You Be My Godmother?" (or Godfather, or Godparents), followed by "Love," and your child's name, with a cross
  • Asking shell (Spanish): "ÂżQuieres ser mi Madrina?", "ÂżQuieres ser mi Padrino?" or "ÂżQuieren ser mis Padrinos?", followed by "Con amor," and your child's name
  • Keepsake shell: "Emma's Godmother" (or Godfather, or Godparents) with "Baptized" and the date, to give on the baptism day

What to expect

  • About 4.5 inches wide x 3.75 inches tall
  • Natural birch wood, 1/8 inch thick
  • Laser cut and engraved on one side; the back is plain wood
  • Each shell is sold individually, so add one for each godparent you are asking
  • Names and dates are engraved exactly as entered, so please double-check spelling

How to order

Pick the wording, then enter your child's name. For a keepsake shell, include the baptism date as well.
