under a BIK scheme no doubtExpect the govt to start taxing these donations too so cash only!
I wouldn't give anything to a non-relative and even then I would only give to a relative I was reasonably close to. I didn't give my brother's daughter anything as I have only met her 3 or 4 times.
I don't understand why people give to neighbours or school friends though!
I would give the maximum of €20.00, if people think that is tight-fisted then tough, I have bills to pay!

+1. This is the approach I take also. I have a LOT of nieces and nephews and couldnt afford to give more than 20e. Likewise if attending a party in the house I would bring wine/ chocolates or cakes.People should only pay what they can afford to pay.
It's not a competition. I only give money to my family for these occasions.
I attended my nephew's communion over the weekend. I gave him €20 by post. He was delighted to receive the card by post addressed to him.
But, I was attending a party in the house on the day so I brought a bottle of wine and a pot plant.
