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

[*Beema*]

Wedding is of my Cousin, have had very little to do with them for the last 10 years, but did catch up a couple fo eyars ago and had a good catchup.

But my dilema is I have no idea what is reasonable as a Wishing Well gift.
Dh, DD and myself are going, do you put in an amount per person or a general figure, how do you work out how much to give...?

[Mad Scientist]

We usually put in $100 as that's how much we'd spend if they had a registry or something.....really close friends we put in more. Maybe I'm stingy cos I have no idea what other people do... It's really hard to know isn't it?

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

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.

[~Hestia~]

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!!

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