- The amount to spend on a wedding gift whether you are attending or not should be within your budget. Many young couples that are getting married will register at their favorite stores (computerized) and all you have to do is put the bride's name in and you will get a list. The gifts that have already been bought by other guests will be shown on that list and you can choose from several other gift ideas that are on the list. If you don't choose to do that then Pier I Stores offer wonderful ideas for a wedding gift. You could get some beautiful place mats with napkins and napkin rings as one idea.
As always, your heart and your pocket should be your giudes.

∙ 14y agoI would spend about 50.00- 75.00 on a gift. Here is a couple of ideas for you There is an Irish custom of giving a bell as a gift. The bell is to be used when the couple has problems and to remember their wedding day they ring the bell. Another Irish custom is a decorated horseshoe. They put this over the door to protect the people coming in/out and keep out bad things. I have also given antique glasses ( picked up at a secondhand store or antique store) in a basket with cheese, munchies, and wine for the honeymoon. If you have less than I suggested to spend for the gift. Go on EBay and find a pretty bell, then go online and find the meaning of the Irish bell, decorate a paper with the meaning put it in the box with the bell and there is your gift. You can do all of this for less than 30.00, but it will look like you paid more if you do it right.

∙ 14y ago- A guest that is giving money should only give what they can and not over extend themselves. $50 is a decent amount. If you are closer to the person you can give $75 - $100.

Should parents give wedding gift when they have not paid for the wedding?
It's usually regarded as courteous for anyone attending the wedding to give a gift (and, in most cases, close family members will give a gift even if they don't attend). It's not legally required, of course, and if someone doesn't give a gift then the newlyweds will just have to suck it up and live with that. It would be unusual for parents not to give any kind of gift at all, but they might opt not to if they are strongly opposed to the marriage, as a sign of their disapproval.
