Growing up I always saw that during wedding preparations the couple (usually the bride) would ask individuals or couples to be a padrino (sponsor) of certain items be it the cake,dj, limo,etc. FH and I decided not to have them because we thought it was an old spanish "tradition" AND because we felt odd going about asking family and friends for money. But lately I've had several family members ask if we are having Padrinos and to let them know if we need anything.
Is anyone having sponsors? How did you go about it?
