Destination wedding gift

Give what you would usually give - what you feel is comfortable and what’s in your budget. This often varies by social circle, family culture and level of friendship.

Give what you feel comfortable giving. Don’t give way over what you can afford. But if you can afford to give them a bit more than usual, go for it. I would probably do the typical (pay for your meal) or maybe a little more, depending on who it is. I don’t really think there is a wrong answer here.

Give what you would normally/comfortably give.

The couple was not obligated to provide anything other than the reception dinner. While the rehearsal, breakfast, and brunch are all nice gestures on their part, that's exactly what you should accept them as - nice gestures. They chose to provide those things to enhance their guests' experience. That does not mean you are obligated to give them more than you would any other couple.

Thanks guys! We’re all super confused as to what to give since we got the rooms so discounted in a peak foliage weekend at literally the nicest resort in the north east. We’re all asking what is everyone gifting! If it was airfare, taxis & just a wedding I would totally go with the norm. This feels too good to be true. That’s what we all keep coming back to. They’re good friends, she’s a NP & he is a MD they have been engaged since early 2019 and their wedding has been on hold due to covid & their work schedules. So it makes us feel even more obligated to def make it special! They’re beyond frontline this whole time! They also put their wedding to Oct 2022 since covid is ticking up, it was this year, and about a month ago we got the change of plans invite for the same weekend next year. It’s kind of a thank you in multiple ways so that’s why a lot of us are beyond confused! At least we have time to save. The bride didn’t do a shower. They have a registry of items under $50 it’s all just picture frames/vases, but there are only 15 items & we know 200+ are going. It’s been the nicest inexpensive wedding I’ve been invited to….
