Creative Way to ask someone to be a Godparent?

Hey!

We're about to ask some dear Catholics in our lives to be Godparents. We'd love to make it a special time. Anyone out there have any creative ideas for asking them? Creative? Crafty? Special?

I'm all ears! Thanks!!!

Our friends, when asking us to be Godparents for their daughter, mailed us a customized 5x7" photo of her with the text (in a fancy font),

"Dear Mr. and Mrs.___, Will you be my Godparents and show me how to live like Jesus? Love, (her name)". It also had the scripture text around the edges "Let them lead me; Let them bring me to Your holy hill and to your dwelling place."

(As a thank you gift after the baptism, by the way, they made a hardcover photo book online with photos of the ceremony and celebration, complete with captions! It was very thoughtful and creative.)

What was especially nice about this is that our two kids could look at the photo book and we could talk about the day and its meaning long after it was over.
