Church donation for Christening?
WE booked Amelia's christening and were given an envelope for our donation to the church. This is the church we got married in and the church I have all but one of my sacraments.
What is the average donation?

We gave $100. I asked the church what most people gave and she said around $50, but it was totally up to us.

Re: Church donation for Christening?
$100 for each DS and I tipped the Deacon $50 each time. He seemed very appreciative! Is that weird? We had private Baptisms and he was wonderful to work with.
