Appropriate Cash Gift Amount?

We always give $500, pay our plate and remainder is the gift, but you give what you can. There's no exact amount a person should give in a wedding. Everyone is different and has their own budget.

We're going to a wedding next week and giving $100 all together. Mainly because we're driving 10 hours both way to the wedding and have to get a hotel for 2 nights. If it was local and we're spending so much we'd prob give $150-200

ETA: I also spend about $30 on a shower gift.

As a couple: We usually do $150 for a friend, $200 for family(or close friend), $250 if we are in the wedding. (And agree with the give what you can statement. I was MOH for my cousin when I was a sophomore in college and saved up some student worker money to give her $75. She tried to not cash my check lol).

$100

Wow I need to invite some of you to my wedding... kidding! Give what you can afford, there is no magic number. I think any gift is appreciated.

Whatever you're comfortable with, I think anywhere from $50-200 depending on who the couple is to you. My friend got married about a month ago and got $5 from someone. THAT is not okay.

I'm going to a wedding next weekend for a good friend. We are going her $100

I think it depends on how much you can swing financially. I would say anywhere from 50-200 depending.

People gave us 50-100 at our wedding. I thought 100 was a lot and did not expect it. I certainly did bt expect people to give the cost of the meal! That seems bizarre and more like a payment than a gift.

I give 100 per person so 200 as a couple for anyone - a little more for someone close. I do base the number off the plate cost as well and factor that in to my decision

We give as a couple, anywhere from $100 - $250 depending on how close we are to the couple.

We gave $200 to the last wedding we attended. $100 from each. They are lifelong friends. I feel if a person attends with their partner or guest they should give at least $150.

I make sure I always cover my and my guest's plate! Around here people buy gifts for the shower and always give money at the wedding

Thank you all for your responses! I am thinking that we will give $150 from both of us.

300 per couple for a regular Friend. 400-500 per couple for a close friend/family

Weddings are expensive and this is a good send of gift for a new chapter in their lives! I give 200 min

Give what you can afford (and give as a couple). It's really hard to give advice for monetary concerns on here because we're all from different areas and varying socio-economic statuses. Where I live, $100 is going to go a lot further than it would in other areas and very few of my friends could afford to give me that much as a gift.

eta: WW got funky on my phone and I accidentally posted multiple times. Hid other comments because they were repeats.

My cousins's wedding this weekend- we gave $80 each in one card. ($160). They are really close to us and both of them are in our wedding party. I would have given more but that's where my budget is at in life right now and also gave $40 cash for the shower, plus was in the wedding so spent a lot of $$ on that. If people know your means, they should understand if you give what you can,

We usually give $150 as a couple.

For a good friend, we usually give $300 as a couple. For someone we're not as close with, we give $200 as a couple.
