Wishing Well.... giving Money as a wedding gift.. stuck on how much..

[*TripleJ*]

i know a lot of ppl gave us 100 but they were close family and my mums old work mate handed me 150 and said u know i dont give gifts lol anyway probably in ur situation id say 50 like family but not close isnt that how much ud usually spend on a pressie anyway for a wedding

[Olive]

we always do $50 for engagement and $100 for a wedding

[LimeSlice]

Depends on how close the person but my general rule is $100 (and it goes as from the Beema Family.

Very close family get more thoug, our 'cousins' both recently got married, they got $1000 from us, in memory of my mum who died shortly before the first wedding.

Immediate family members got $1000, good friends got between $100-$200 (depending how good of a friend they are), distant relatives got $50-$100.

I'd probably give $100.
Someone once told me that they estimate how much per head the function cost (say $50 per head for food) & give that amount per family member. Hope that makes sense!!

[Cassius2]

we arent flush so we give $50 for distant friends/relatives and $100 for close ones.

wow i must be cheap or really broke i wish we go 1000 from close family lol we would have been rich

[~clover~]

Only people very close gave us $100. The rest gave us $50. DH's boss gave $30 & the office ladies at his work put in $20 each, so $60.
So if it was me, I'd give about $50.

Thankyou all for your suggestions, it is sucha tricky thing to work out and generally I go and buy a really nice gift of crystal glasses or somehting similar (and generally pick them up on special) but spend has been somewhere between $50 and $100.

The most we have spent is on some very close friends (much closer than these cousins ) and we gave them $200, everyone else has been gifts.

At least I have a figure I can work to now!
Thankyou so much xxoo
