Actually, in some cultures, money is the only appropriate gift. If you've been invited to a wedding where either the bride or the groom comes from a different background, you might want to research into whether or not even getting a gift instead of giving money is the tradition. Or, even better, talk to one of the family members or friends of the couple to find out what their preference is. Otherwise, while a heartfelt present is often more remembered than a gift of money, sometimes the bride and groom would prefer it. Either cash or a check enclosed in a wedding card is acceptable, along with a well-wishing, handwritten note. Also, most larger retailers now offer gift cards, if you don't feel comfortable using a personal check or giving cash. Many stores have these available at the checkout counters or online at their website. Another idea, if your desire to give money is based on not wanting to get the couple something they might not want, is to find out whether they have a gift registry at any stores. That way, you know you'll be getting them not only something unique, but something they really need.
Typically, you are looking to cover the cost of your plate. It also depends on how close the friend is to you, and the kind of wedding they are having. Some wedding gifts can range from $75-$200. If you are invited with a guest, remember to take that into consideration as well. You need to cover their cost in addition to your own.
It depends on your terms of relationship. If you are going on your best friend`s wedding then i think money no matters.There is no limit of money for wedding gifts, whatever you want to give your friend or relative you can give.I also want to tell you that you can suggest your friend or relative to purchase wedding invitations from 123WeddingCards from where he/she will get beautiful wedding cards at reasonable price; it can also be a good wedding gift.
No gift is required for a wedding. Attendance or not. But it all depends on what you can afford. If that is $5, then do that if it is nothing and a card with well wishes do that. If it is $1000, can you be relative? Okay so seriously, give what you feel comfortable giving. My mom always gives $100 to her nieces and nephews. She lives in the Midwest and she can afford to give that.
When giving a gift of money for a present it is completely up to you as to how much to give. Traditionally the money a couple receives from their wedding helps to set up their future life together. There are many things to consider: how close are you to the couple? how much did they give you at your wedding? what would be an appropriate amount to cover your meal expenses and add extra as a gift? I would however never give less than $100 or $200 for a wedding gift.
