how much should you give for a wedding gift?

This is a really personal question. I don't know your finances. Usually I give $200, but I think that is standard where I am from.

Give what you can afford. It's not rude, its real life. Not everyone can afford to "pay per plate" like some brides say.

If you can only afford $50, give $50. They're the assholes if they look down on it.

I usually give AT LEAST $100 for me and $100 for plus one. Depending on how close you are. But for guests who traveled and spent extra money to be there, I really don't care if they don't give at all because I know how much they spent already. Ultimately, give what you can afford. Don't stretch yourself thin with this.

Or think of a gift that may be outside of their registry.

For me, it depends on a few things:

- Am I traveling for the wedding? (e.g. airfare and hotel)

- Am I attending the wedding?

- Am I attending solo or with my FH? (He's in school so it's not always possible for him to come with.)

- How close am I to this couple? (Are they nieces, siblings, best friends, or work acquaintances?)

It depends on my relationship with the person. I usually give $150 each (me and FH). You give what you can afford.

We generally do $200 if both me and FH are invited and we aren't that close to the couple. More for close cousins and friends.

It depends. I don't usually go to destination weddings unless it's a very close friend or relative- but I do send a gift from their registry.

DH and I generally give anywhere from $150-$300 depending on how close we are to the couple.

Give what you can afford. Standard for me is $100 especially if I already purchased a shower gift and bachelorette party gift.

I normally give around 100-300 depending on the closeness of our relationship.

If you don't want to give money go shopping and find a GREAT deal lol I always love shopping for great deals and you can get move for your money!

Give what you can afford. You could also choose a smaller gift off their registry. MOST people will appreciate whatever you can give. They didn't invite you for a present, they invited you for your presence so cheesy

You said you are not that close so it doesn't have to be a big amount.

We are having people fly in from England and Mexico and I do not expect to receive gift at all from them since they went lots to get there. I also believe that any type of gift I receive no matter how small is appreciated. $20 or $200 bucks money is money.

Depends on he relationship and what we can afford. I gave my own brother 40 for his second marriage because I was out of work at the time and couldnt afford any more than that. They understand and were grateful I even made it to the wedding as I had just had major surgery as well. My one cousin we were able to give 100. Most people are appreciative of whatever you can give amd the fact that you took time out of your busy lives to celebrate with them. Give what you can and feel comfortable giving.

I always 50$per person, me and FH I give 100$. I think it's appropriate and we can afford it, without going into debt or "how are we going to scrounge up money" thing.

I would say $100 as a bare minimum, but that's just me. Everyone's financial situation is different, and with your wedding coming soon it's understandable that you don't want to be just giving away money. If they look down on you for "not enough", shame on them.

$200, but if your not very close to the couple $100. $200-$500 for immediate family and very close friends.

Give what you can afford. Honestly, if you cannot afford anything after travel expenses, write them a nice card. IMO, I do not expect everyone to give us a gift. Especially, since everyone is OOT for us.

It depends on the person and my financial situation at the time. I've given a gift as low at $40 and as high as $100.

I had a friend in this predicament and all of the couple's registry was picked over as well. So, she got a basket and filled it with cleaning necessities. Windex, sponges, bathroom cleaner, etc... She got to spend exactly what she could afford, had a physical gift so nobody knew what she spent, and the couple LOVED it. I personally think it's a genius idea and would love to be on the receiving end of that gift as well.

It's really based on your budget. When I give I don't take into account traveling costs, I just never have. I generally asses my closeness to the couple. My personal rule is at least $50 if I'm by myself, at least $100 if it's me plus one.
