How much money should I give for my first and only nephew on his christening day?

Question

Hello, My first nephew has his christening/baprisimal next week. I am going to put the money in his college fund but don't know what the average amount would be from an aunt? I dont want to be cheap but i also dont want to give way too much....i'm basically clueless...

Answer 1

We gave 100 bucks.

Answer 2

i'd say 50-100 would be ok but only do what you can afford to do they will happy with whatever you give!

Answer 3

You've got lots and lots of birthdays and Christmases ahead, too, so don't worry about giving a whole lot right now.  Do what you can afford--any amount of money will be appreciated.

I think $50-$100 is a very generous gift to start things off.  You can certainly do more or less, but that amount from an aunt sounds very reasonable.

Answer 4

i gave my godson a savings bond.  

Answer 5

i think it's all relative to what you can afford and how close you are with the baby.  First, I would say that there's isn't a "way too much" answer unless you have other siblings and don't want to overshadow their gift.  If this was my only brother's first baby, I would probably give $200 and a gift....if i was god mother, more...
