I started a thread up about this topic about mid last year
DP & i agreed on $70 ... but when i saw the reception venue & could see it was very lavish & luxurious i popped in another $10 without DP knowing ... so total cash gift was $80 (that's for the two of us) ... With family we give between $80 to $100 in cash gift if asked for in the invitation !!
P.S - I put the money in a envelope with the wedding card BUT i didn't seal it just incase there ended up being a wishing well at the reception to put just the money in a seperate envelope, which there didn't end up being so everyone looked ridiculous walking around the reception with the 'envelope' until about 30mins later it was announced that everyone put their Kind Donations as it was expressed into the box sitting on the bridal party table ... felt embarrassing to go up & do with everyone taking turns after each other to put their 'secret amount' of cash gift into what felt like a charity box towards the bills of the grand Wedding, LOL !!
