How Much to Give. The amount of money that the parents tip often ranges between $25 and $100. Giving $100 is appropriate when the priest or other officiant has taken special time to prepare with the family, or if the baptism is private. If the baptism is a part of a service where more than one baby is baptized, a smaller amount is acceptable.
