my son is receiving his first holy communion this May and we're having a little party.. I would hate for my sister & brother to feel obligated to give that amount.. they just had babies and bought homes.

yikes.

Of course...I would give $100 if it was a friend's baby, or a cousin's baby, but if I was the godmother and the aunt, like my brother's new baby for instance, I would give at least $500, maybe $1000....it will depend on what the bank account looks like next month for his christening.

Not for anyone's communion of course, but for my godchild who is also my niece/nephew, yes.

absolutely . I would never and have never asked or told people what to get...thats just what they did...I think people should do what they can....I have never given any of my god children 1000.00
for communion and christening its been 500 and a piece of jewlery

Re: Communion gift...

500!!!!!!!


my two little cousins are having their communions this weekend and my mom said 30 bucks!

Re: Communion gift...

my DH's cousin kid made his last week, we gave $50. I think its great and all the give 500 or even 1000, but I think that its more what you can give that matters.

i guess if you have the money than thats great! for my godchild i still wouldnt be able to give that much.. i dont even think they would expect that.. i know i wouldnt. i would be happy with $100.. just seems a bit much to me..

me too.

but I'm also constantly broke... if I had the $ to give 500 without batting an eye, of course I would feel differently.

My son is my sister & brother's godson AND nephew, and I can't imagine accepting that much from them as a gift...
