No unless you are in the South Bronx or something.

Start a fresh thread, and provide proper background info.

I think you're fine, particularly for NY, attending with a family of 4. I think I gave $100 last year, in a similar scenario.

Overdid it and look crazy. Sorry. Top cap even for NY would have been $100.

Thanks, all. I ended up doing $150 cash. I'd rather err on the side of too much than too little. It was a very nice lunch with an open bar, so I'm feeling okay with that number.

I always give $75 -$100 (NY native) I mean, c'mon, it is for their college fund (or whatever)

Are you giving cash? No more than $50.

$25-$50 is perfect.

We recently moved from DC back to the NY metro area. Going to a first communion party this afternoon with dh and our two kids. The mom is my sister's BFF. I'm not sure how much to give the girl for a gift. I don't want to give too little, but I don't want to accidentally overdo it and look crazy either. Anyone happen to know what the standard gift amount might be in this situation?
