Help - How Much to Donate for Baptism?

[Agingmumoftwins]

Have posted this in religion as well, to cover all bases!

We are having our twins baptised, and using the church room for the get together afterwards. It's a separate service from the normal Sunday service, so vicar is going to some effort iyswim.

The vicar has just asked for a donation, as there's no standard fee for either the service or the room hire, how much is reasonable?

Is £50 ok or should we give more? I don't want to go over the top and look like the Rockefellers, but I also don't want to look mean.

There's no collection in the service, but baskets will be strategically placed for donations.

Thanks! Baptism is on Sunday.

Our old priest always said "there's no fee but if you left less than £50 you'd feel embarrassed".

Thanks that's really useful, as it suggests we should give more as we're using the room as well!

We left £50 as a donation when we had our DD baptised (but we had to pay for the church room at our church for tea/cakes after)

We gave a £100 - but the circumstances were quite unique. Long - and boring - story!
