Usually you give the priest a token. We gave 50 euro. We asked friends and they have the same. Hope this helps

It's up to yourself to donate what you see fit, personally I gave €100 in a card for our little ones Christening, I figured €50 for the priest and €50 for the church.

BTW, I've a feeling Religion or Newborn/Toddlers forums would be a better fit for this kind of question btw.

Are you looking for a private christening, one during a Mass or a group of christenings during a Mass, for the latter two you give anything up to about 50e, the individual one should get a higher offering.
