Re: communion gift question
I'd probably give $100-150
I usually give a little more to family

Re: communion gift question
We give $150 for family, including our first cousins' children. We're going to a communion party this weekend actually!
I think $100-150 is appropriate if you can afford it. If not, anything is appreciated I'm sure.

the party is at their house
Also, to add, since the gift is for the child and not the parents who are paying for the party, then the amount shouldn't have anything to do with where the party is held. (Then again, I never base my gift on where a party is held. That was the HOST'S decision, not mine.)

You're totally right. Someone is always bound to ask that!  And if you post it, then you're bound to get my comment. Ah, another catch 22 brought to you by LIF!

Whatever you would give at any other Communion. The parents are paying for the party. The gift is for the child. The fact that it's a big "mini wedding" should have nothing to do with it.
Give what you can afford. We generally give $150 for family and $100 for others, regardless of where the party is. I'm starting to feel like we have been giving too much... but I guess it's hard to go back now...

I would put in $100. I wouldn't put in more just because of where they are throwing it. The parents are throwing the party for her which will be very nice but you shouldn't feel obligated to put in more because of it.

My Goddaughter's communion is on Sunday. I'm getting her a $100 savings bond - aka costing me $50

Well, than that makes two of us!
My nephew/godson is also making his communion this Saturday and I was thinking about the same amount, maybe even alittle less b/c we were also going to get him a gift he could open.

Re: communion gift question
I was just wondering this. i have 30 first cousins and there are a million parties/wedding/showers coming up. I need to take a loan out to pay for these gifts. i was wondering if $50 is too cheap.
