Personally, I think that you should be looking as to what God is laying on your heart to give. In the end it is all his money and he will do with it as he pleases. However, I don't recall anyone I know paying specifically for a Baptism.
i think you should give the person that much money u think he deserves.
for example u think that man is cruel,mean,undeserving then u should probly
give some one else a chance rather then un deserving man

How about a real answer and not just some rambling? Maybe even check your spelling?
Christenings (baptisms) are usually freely given by the Church - i.e. unlike weddings there is no charge. This is because at a wedding the priest (in the Anglican Church in the UK) is acting also as a secular registrar and therefore there are set legal fees that have to be paid to the priest who then passes them on to the diocese in which the church is situated. Baptisms, however, are freely given as it is a privilege for the church to welcome a new member of the Body of Christ. Therefore, a donation made to the church would be most welcome. Firstly the priest's time (paid for by the diocese) and expenses (paid by the local church) have to be considered - both in the actual service of the Christening and in the preparation before the service for the parents and godparents. Secondly, the heating and lighting in the church has to be paid for (by the church itself). Thirdly, if an organist or pianist or verger offers their services free, then a small gift for these might be courteous. In baptisms in my own church, the child is given a lighted candle as a symbol of Christ's light present now in their lives - and this is usually quite an attractive affair in a decent candle holder. The parents, baptised child and godparents are all given certificates and, if the baptised person is a child, they are given an appropriate gift such as an appropriate book or DVD about Jesus. All these items have to be purchased by the church locally. Costs soon mount up if there are several christenings a month. And lets not forget that churches do not get grants or special income from the government. All funding of a church comes from donations from its own members and from fundraising to attract funds from those outside the church. All Anglican churches have to pay money to the diocese to help in the payment and training of clergy (in my own church this amounts to £22,000 per annum) before they even consider money needed for heating/lighting, mission, charitable donations, running costs of services, maintenance and restoration of often anciane historic buildings and so on. So any extra donations are vital if the church is to continue its work into the future. Therefore, you need to weigh up yourself what should be an appropriate donation after you realise the costs incurred by the church in question. However, whatever you give will (should!) be accepted in love and gratitude.
It totally depends on what religion. For the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, LDS, it doesn't really matter. You can buy them a journal, pair of scriptures, anything you want. For other churches, I don't think there's an established amount of how much.
As in every situation, you give what you can comfortable afford. If the child is a close relative, you give as generously as possible and as your heart dictates. If the child is a friend's child, you might not give as much as you would your own relative.
Nothing, baptism is one of the regular functions of a priest or deacon.
How much money do you give for 30th birthday without looking cheap.
A common amount for an 8th grade graduation gift is between $20 to $50. Ultimately, the amount will depend on your relationship with the graduate and your budget. Giving a personalized gift or a gift card to a favorite store can also be thoughtful options.
It just depends on how much you can give them. There is no limit really, it just depends on your budget and the money in your pocket!
You should only give what you can afford without breaking the bank. You could also buy a gift and not give money at all. $30 - $50 is just fine.
As much as she wishes. Over a specific amount will be subject to gift taxes.
The cost of a gift card from the retailer Best Buy is dependent on the amount you wish to give someone as a gift. These gift cards are available in a wide range of denominations ranging from $5 up to $250.
It depends on the person receiving. You have to see to it that it is an amount so large, that they will overlook you being rude enough to give money as a gift.
It depends on how well u know the person and what your financial situation is.
You do not have to give any money . You give whatever gift you think is appropiate , and if you wish to give money , give whatever amount you like that you are comfortable with.Being in the wedding party places no special gifting obligation on you.On the contrary, custom is the Bride gives her attendants presents, and the Groom gives a gift to his groomsmen.
If you are giving the government a money gift the you give all of the gift.Perhaps you did not mean what you actually asked. Try reading through your question again carefully.
I am not sure, since i dont know the person you are giving it to, but the average person would much rather accept a gift basket or gift for the child.
Let your pocket and your feeligs for the groom be your guide.
