Wedding gift

I think $200-$300 on a wedding gift is more than enough. I would never want someone to spend $500-$1000 on a wedding gift for us, especially if you've already paid a lot to be in the wedding. I think your brother and SIL would be more than thankful for a 200-300 gift. Very sweet of you to want to be sure though

$500-$1000 for a sibling is crazy -- especially if you have already spent $1500 on being in the wedding, and given that you're looking for a house. I wouldn't expect anyone to give me that much, much less someone who was in the wedding and was already traveling in. Last year, I was the MOH in my sister's wedding. I spent about $700 between the "bachelorette" weekend and the bridal shower I hosted. I didn't have travel expenses (wedding was in our hometown, where I still live) and my parents paid for my dress ($140) and hair ($50).

I actually waited until after the wedding and asked my sister what they wanted that they didn't get. I ended up giving them a $150 gift card to Ikea, that they used to buy a bed frame. I would give what you are comfortable giving and see if there is anything they really wanted, or would like to be able to buy, that you can help contribute towards.

...my sister is making me something personal. So, it's probably way less than even $100. Honestly, they're your sibling. Maybe do something meaningful to them that has sentimental value rather than money value. I don't know why people wrap themselves up in money or think that they're expected to spend a lot when it comes to a wedding. Do what you can, they should definitely understand. I don't see why anyone should feel any obligation to spending hundreds on a couple at a wedding... Yes, it happens once (we all hope!), but realistically everyone has a life outside of it and it's not the only thing going on.

Also, $1500 to be in the wedding party? Sheesh, I thought my $200, for everything, was a lot. If you've already paid that out, then that is part of the gift, imo. That's not cheap.

I think $200-$300 is more than enough, even $100 would be nice. We told our BM & GM to not give us anything, they had spent enough. Most of them still gave us gifts, cash-wise one gave us $500 and the rest gave us between $100-$200.

$200-300 is more than generous. I would just give cash.

Wow, you are generous!! I feel like a $200-300 gift is MORE than enough.. quite frankly you could bump down to a $100-150 gift.. on average people spend $75-150

What you are planning on giving already is more than generous!

$200 sounds fine to me! It's a good amount to give
