How much money should I spend on the gift for our Officiant?

I would spend the same amount on the officiant that you plan to spend on the wedding party gifts. We are limiting ourselves to $50 or less per person. We, too, have an officiant that is not charging us (my future father in law) and we will be purchasing him a gift of appreciation as well.

I would say $50 would be sufficient. Unless you are really close to him, I wouldn't spend more than that.

My uncle is officiating our wedding. We are on a very tight budget. We are getting him a $50 gift card to a restaurant that he likes.

We're putting this poem on cardstock and putting it in a nice frame for our officiant. The title of the poem is his name and we believe that it would be more sentimental for him then money since he asked for none.

We might not remember every word you say

When we look into your eyes

And you say those words,

"I now pronounce you man and wife."

But because of the blessings

And prayers you prayed

God will go with us

Every day along life’s way.

Thank you for being the one

Who united us on this day….

You’ll always mean so much to us

Long after our wedding day.
