Poll: How much is appropriate to give to a child making their communion?
CHILDREN MAKING THEIR their First Holy Communion receive an average of €617 in cash from family, neighbours and friends, while parents are spending around €929 on the big day.
This is according to a recent survey by Ulster Bank which also found that a quarter of children received more than €800.
The survey of 175 parents noted that four in five children put some of the money into a savings account but the most likely purchases with the money are toys, clothes and computer games.
Is this an appropriate way to mark a big day in the child’s life? Or is it too much?
We’re asking today: How much is appropriate to give to a child making their communion?
