Donations to your Church

Donations to your Church

What is the recommended donation to your church before your wedding? Greek orthodox church? THanks again.

Re: Donations to your Church

I'm not sure what the norm is, but I'm pretty sure FH's dad is giving $1000?

But they don't go to the church a lot, so they're not donating on a normal basis... so I think there's some guilt money in there

Re: Donations to your Church

OH WOW. i was thinking more along the lines of $300-600 however I don't want to be embarassed. I taught sunday school for 11 years though if that counts for anything. LOL

Re: Donations to your Church

Mine was not Greek Orthodox but we paid I think $600 but that was the 'recommended' amount

Re: Donations to your Church

Haha, I think that counts for A LOT! As long as you were teaching Sunday School at that church

I think your range is good, I'd go for maybe $500? But I honestly have no idea... I was surprised FFIL was giving that much...

Re: Donations to your Church

Thank you. I 'm glad you think so.

Re: Donations to your Church

I am getting married at Kings Point and they require $500 for the use of the chapel. I am bringing my priest from nyc so I will also have to make a donation to the church in the city.

Re: Donations to your Church

my church isn't Greek Orthodox but our suggested donation is about $700 total and that is for church members. It's much more if your not a member so... I def think teaching Sunday school counts for something! it makes you a VERY active member of the church! That deserves a discount lol

Re: Donations to your Church

Our church told us what our 'donation' is.... Music fee - $225 made out to cash; Rehearsal fee - $25 made out to cash and $500 church fee made out to the church.

Re: Donations to your Church

Thank you all. At least I see we are all in the same ballpark.
