What’s your relationship? We are 2 adults 2 kids, Close friends for their kids I did/do $150. My god children I did $500 each. Friends I’m not too close with but may see time to time I do $75. My kids got between $50-$1000k depending on the relationship and of coarse what people can afford.

Re: Christening gift

Depends on your relationship.
If it's a close family member like my niece or nephew I give $500.
If it's a friend who I am not super close with probably $150- $200 in the situation you describe.

The most we got for any of our three kids was $200 from a grandparent. The others gave, at most, $100 for a family.

Most friends gave us $100 for their families for our kids Christening and Communions - so we give the same.

Same. I’m always astounded when I see the level of giftgiving on this site.

Agreed

We actually had a Communion and Christening this weekend, 2 kids, 2 adults at the Communion and 1 kid, 2 adults at the Christening.

Both are friends. Neither we are SUPER close to

Based on this site, I had $250 in the Communion envelope and $150 in the Christening one. I started to ask around at work (I work in the city at a decent sized law firm) and people thought I was nuts. And so we ended up giving $150 for the Communion and $75 for the Christening

Yep, I would suggest custom koozies as gifts for 2 adults and 2 small kids as kids could use them to keep their water & juice cool while adults could use them to keep beer cool. Chat Icon
