Somewhere around $100, depending on how well we know the couple and the other costs of attending the wedding (travel, etc)
EDIT: I'm in the Northeast.
Between $50 - $75, although, if I know the couple really well, I'll do $100. I'm in Eastern Canada.
im in sydney/australia and usually a min of $200 per couple (cost of our dinner) unless you are family or i really like you then its higher.
we do about $100. sometimes its more if its a close relative - like a sibling.
im in PA
I'm in Canada, and it's usually about $100. Maybe more if I really like you!
Depends on how close we are to the couple and how much extra money we have at the time (ha), normally between $50 and $100. I'm in Michigan.
I'm from Georgia and I usually give about $20 worth for a gift. Honestly, I've been using the "poor college" student excuse. Maybe if I had a professional job I would spend more. I can't wait until this summer when I do have one :)
I'm from NJ and woul always give $100/couple... and this was even when I was a student. I live in MD now, and am starting to get the sense that it might be high for people around here. I've also noticed that more people in MD give gifts rather than cash for weddings.
I didn't think there would be such a huge difference b/w MD and NJ b/c they are sort of in the same region. Maybe it's just FH's MD family and friends? I'm pretty confused lol.
I give a gift, never cash. The cost ranges from $50-$200, depending on our relationship.
I always give $100 from the 2 of us. I even gave this much while I was a student.
If someone gave me a blank card, or even $20, I would appreciate it. However, I would feel embarassed to give that amount.
I always give a gift, never cash, but that gift is priced at about $100/couple (I also spent this when I was a student - although I was single so it was $50-$60 from me as an individual). I am from IN and DH is from GA.
$100-$150, I currently live in Central Canada (SK) but I am originally from Ontario.
Depends how well I know the couple. If they aren't best friends or family, only $50. If we are closer, we spend more for gifts ($200+).
Not only does it depend on how well we know them, but also the socio-economic class of them. We do fairly well and I have friends from home that don't fall in our bracket so if we gave too much I know that they would be making comments about it. So I try to adjust based on that as well. Therefore it is anywhere from 100 - 200.
Although most recently I gave 3 bottles of nice wine with cards and poems attached. They were chosen to get better with age. The first bottle was for their 1 year anniversary (champagne), then 3 and 5 year anniversaries (red wines).
If I cant attend a wedding I will have an actual gift shipped, but cash if I am going.
me and the fiance typically give $100-150 (although once $75 because broke and not close to bride/groom at the time), but for close friends $200-$250
$100 per person or $200 FI and I. If I the bride and groom are closer friends, I give more.
We usually give 100 to basic weddings, and 150 to people we're closer with. We haven't had a sibling get married yet, but maybe more for them?
If we're not close with the bride and groom we'll do $200/couple (cash, never gift). For closer friends or family we give more. If we're not going to the wedding we'll send a gift usually around $75.
$100 from us. I do also take venue into account and how much the couple is paying vs. the parents. (if I know) I am from the Mid-West. =-)
We typically give 200, but if it's a close friend then we'll give more. I'm from LA
$100-150. More if it's a very close friend. Last year I got invited to a bride's shower, but not to her wedding. That time I gave a gift worth $20.
Usually $100-$150... sometimes more depending on the relationship to whoever is getting married.
I live in the Boston area.
So far we have only ever given something off the registry as a gift but if we were to give cash we would probably give $100

Sorry, there are no users yet.
The cultural differences post got me thinking.
Per couple, how much do you typically give as a wedding gift? Also post your location.
