How much to give @ a christening

Hi Ladies!
So my really good friend is having her baby's christening- and I was wondering how much is appropriate to give (how much money) and I know you ladies always say give what you can....

But i really need to know a dollar amount or a range... I'm clueless

THANKS!!!

You can get a $50 or $100 savings bond. Don't worry about not having the baby's ss# you can buy it with your own in the baby's name care of the parents.

We went to a christening recently for a friend (not a close friend) and gave $100...

Get a savings bond. Spend $50 for a $100 savings bond. $150 is NOT necessary, unless you are the godparent...imo!

I always give 100 bucks anytime any of my cousins babies christening so for a close friend I thought maybe a little more but its sounds like 100 is good. I get savingsbonds on their birthdays...

It usually depends who the christening is for, but i would give between 50 and 100... my nephews/niece i did 100 and got gifts too for them... I always ask my mom though

I usually give around $100, except for my nephews, I gave more.
