How much should I give?

I always gave $100 as a single and $150-$200 as a couple. For my siblings & closest friends I gave more.

For a college student or young guest very new to the workforce I think $50 is okay.... But it's a little cheap if you have a full time job (Sorry, just my opinion).

Wow these are insanely high! I'm from rural western NC and the one wedding I've been to, FH and I together gave a gift worth $40. We are also both in college but even in ten years I can't imagine giving anyone over $100!

I don't think it should matter. It's the thought that counts.

The last wedding FH and I attended we gave $75 because we weren't close with the couple, but the wedding before that my FH was the best man and we gave $300.

I think because it's your FH's sister you and your FH will have to give more than what is normal. Especially if they have a good relationship? I gave my sister 500 at her wedding and she is giving me 1000 at my upcoming wedding. For other weddings I try to cover my plate and 50 on top of it.

It really depends on your financial situation and where you are from. I am from NYC and the weddings here run pricey so I kind of have to give more. For both of my cousins we gave $500 (my fiance and me). For my friends wedding I attended alone and gave $200(the venue was also less expensive than the other.) I would research approximate cost of venue and give accordingly to at least cover for venue price pp. If your financial situation doesn't allow that then go for something off the registry since its something the couple would need.

$50 seems very reasonable to me!

For siblings I'd go higher than $50 if I can afford to. Personally, I'd rather give an item off the registry though. For our BM fh and I got them 2 gift off their registries spending about $150 total. For his cousins wedding fils, FBIL and us all pooled our money together and gave $400.

$200 for FH and I, $100 when I was single.

We give $100 to friends and $200 to family plus usually a nice gift at the shower.

That's kind of like asking how much you should give for someone's birthday. It depends on your financial circumstances, and how close you are to the couple.

For a couple we are close with, between $100-200 depending ($100 for close friends, $200 for really close friends like the bridal party).

Depends on how much I give for the shower. My old rule of thumb was, depending on the relationship, $50ish for the shower and $100ish for the wedding. More for closer friends and family. But I may go all out for the shower and I may skip the shower or they may not have one.

Now J tells me $200 for a wedding at least. So now I just play it by ear.

I give $200 per couple. At least want to cover your plate.

Give what you can afford and are willing to give. For us to just friends where not that close too we give $40-$50, for family $75-$100, and if where really close to someone $150. This is just the wedding gift not including what I'd give for a shower.

Anywhere from $50 up. depends on how close you are to the couple and what you can afford. no couple *should* ever look at a monetary gift from a friend and think 'wow she's cheap, she only gave us $75"

If I'm not close with the couple (as in I experience surprise when I receive a wedding invite), I try to give what I think they likely paid for my attendance (food and drink), based on the venue and formality of the wedding. If they're my actual friends I give them something that I know they want (without going broke, so this will vary depending upon how much I have leftover that month after bills and savings). This is a special, once in a lifetime event, and I don't think that any amount is too much, as long as it is within your means.
