NWR: First Communion Gifts

in May 2012 Weddings

It has been years and years since anyone close to me has had a First Communion. Now, FI and I have a few to attend over the next couple of weeks. I'll probably just give cash, but have no idea what the "going rate" is. This is for 2 cousins and  FI's nephew. What do you ladies normally give?

Thanks for the help!

Anniversary

    If it were me I would do a $50 savings bond which would only cost $25 per child. If you need it asap, you can still order one at the bank and they will give you a little insert that you can fill out to let the parents know that a savings bond will be coming to them in the mail.

    I like savings bonds better for children this young, since they don't "need" cash and it will be in their name, so only they can cash it, later on in life.

    I'd probably do cash and little more than a Baptism. I think we gave my nephew $50 a few weeks ago for his Baptism, so maybe $75? I'd do no more than that.
