what do you give for weddings? cash or gift?

I lived in NC and SC and I would always give cash. That is probably because i'm a lazy gifter though.

Money is easier, but if it was a close friend I'd like to pick something out for them (PNW)

Never heard of giving physical gifts for the wedding, only the shower. New England.

I'm from the dirty South, lol.. Baton Rouge, LA.. I will give a gift for the shower and card w/check at the wedding ...

NJ - cash

Fresno, California - Some give cash some give physical gifts. I personally give cash almost always.

Seattle....Cash all the way!

Seattle, always cash. I've tried the registry route a few times, but people register waaaay to early for stuff. By the time you hit up the stores or even online, stuff is discontinued or not in stock.

South Carolina, I usually give a gift card. I don't bring actual gifts to the wedding, too much hassle for me lol

New York area. Cash. And that is what I see the most.

CASH! upstate New York

Texas, give physical gifts

I give gifts strictly for the bridal shower. I give cards with cash at the wedding. Exceptions being my closest friends in which I'd also likely include a small personal gift for the day of the wedding. (Earrings, a little letter, something very small)

Upstate New York!

Southern NJ... I would give cash.

Philadelphia- cash at the wedding, gift for the shower

I'm in NJ and most people I know give money, but I've done both. For family, I've given money. For friends, I've given gifts. The main reason is because I give family members $200-300, but with my friends I bought a bunch of items off their registry (11 to be exact) for around $100.

Western MA, and while I have never attended a wedding in my adult life, I can say that out of 85 guests at our wedding we received one physical gift. The rest was cards with money.

Northeast (NY, CT, MA friends) - cash for the wedding itself

Mid west. For close friends, I like to do personalized items. I did a personalized platter tray recently. Being on the younger side of my friends I don't want them to know how much I spent. Putting money in a card would've been cheaper than the platter tray. If you know their style, I suggest personalized items because those don't always get to go on registries. I love the ones I got. Bridal showers I usually do registry gifts. Weddings for non close friends, I would give money.

Chicago land area- i would say its a mix of both cash and gifts. Usually if someone is closer to the couple they give a gift but coworkers tend to give cash from my experience.
