Wedding present cash amount ?

[mrsmac]

Dad has been invited to his best friend's DD's wedding in October. Whilst he is very good friends with his mate he doesn't really know the DD that well.
She has requested money for gifts as they need it for their honeymoon. What do you think is an appropriate amt ?? BTW he is flying to Noosa for the wedding (from Sydney)
I said I thought $40 or $50, what do you ladies think?? (Dad thought it was great when I said I would check on BB!!)

I usually do $50 as well when giving cash.

We normally give $50 for a wedding gift too.

[Lisa]

We normally give $100.

i think if he is flying in then that is the gift.

[MrsFabuloso]

For friends and family that aren't close (immediate family) we give $50. Best friends and immediate family (our brothers) we gave $100.

Though I do agree with spuidipa, if he's flying and paying accomodation etc...then that should be the gift in it's self!

id say watever ur dad can afford 40 or 50 is fine hun xx

Since he is flying to the wedding I would not expect anything more, but if he is the type of person who insists of giving a gift also then I think $50 is the perfect amount.

I agree.
