I have a baptism to go to for one of DH's cousins this weekend - I just got a card - but how much money do I put in it - I have no clue.
I also have a graduation party next weekend - another one of DH's cousins graduated from the Police Academy - how much money do I put in his card.
TIA.
Re: How much money do you give for a Baptism??
IDK - it depends on how close they are to me and I also base it on how much they are paying per plate (if in Restaurant) and cover our plates and gift a little something extra. I'm Italian and calculating how much to put into an envelope is an art my mom has perfected
If it was in someone's house I would give them both $100

It's been a long journey. TTC since 9/06. multiple IUI's and IVF's and 4 m/c's. IVF#3 = BFP, twins, induced at 34w6d due to baby b passing away (no explanation). Delivered on 35w1d, Baby A - baby girl, and Baby B - baby boy, our little angel.

I usually give gifts for Baptisms. I think I spend around $25-30 unless I'm really close to the baby, then I might go a little higher.
For graduations, I usually do $40-50 if their not close to us and ~$75 if they are. I've been told this is high though, so less should be totally fine.
ETA: Holy crap, I can't imagine sending graduates $100 each. lol That would have been almost $1k for us this year within 2.5 months!
