What exactly is a baptism?

Baptism is a religious rite or sacrament that takes place in many Christian traditions.

It marks the entry of a person, usually a baby or young child, into the Christian faith. During baptism, the child is sprinkled with water or immersed in water to symbolize purification of the soul and membership of the Christian community. As we all know, baptism, like other religious ceremonies, is in a state of decline.

But many families now opt for civil christenings or secular ceremonies. This remains an important family and social event around the child. Whatever the ceremony, religious or secular, it is always followed by a reception or family meal to celebrate this special occasion.

Godparents, usually family members or close friends, play a role of spiritual and moral support in the life of the baptized child.

How much money to give for a baptism?

The first question is: do you give money for a baptism? 

There are certain customs to take into consideration when it comes to the tradition of gift-giving at baptisms. For example, godparents typically set aside $100 to $150 for a gift to commemorate the momentous occasion. Also, close family members usually budget about $50 for the baptismal present they select.

It is customary to choose a present that is in line with your financial capabilities if you are a family friend attending a baptism ceremony. Since there is no standard quantity for a baptism present, it is important to be flexible when selecting a gift. Because there are so many options, there isn’t a set standard, and presents might differ greatly in regards of their cost and extravagance.

It’s important to remember that the thought and sentiment behind the gift often hold more significance than its monetary value, making it possible to find a meaningful and memorable gift that fits within your budget.
