If you are talking about money (and you can afford it) and depending how close you are to the niece then give $100 - $200 or more if you wish in your wedding card to her. If you want to skip the money (because you can't afford much) then go shopping because there are great deals out there and you could find something you know she would like. "Pier 1" US firm (in Canada and one of my favorite shops) has beautiful inexpensive wine glasses, bamboo type place mats (the rage in British Columbia) in rich chocolate browns with a hint of bronze, or some are black with a haze of silver, some napkins to go with it and napkin rings. This way it looks like a great gift and no one knows what you have spent. Personally, a person should appreciate anything one gives whether it be a small inexpensive gift or a moderate gift. There is nothing to say that you must give money. You are being invited to share in their nuptuals as man and wife and can give them a gift,too. Weddings these days like many traditions in this country have gotten so materialistic its disgusting. You can buy them a 100. savings bond that will have a 200 dollar face value and even more if they let it mature. You can buy them AAA memberships for their vehicles so they are also assured peace of mind on the road, you can buy them something for their home. If you really want to give money, you do it first according to what you can afford. If you can afford it and are going alone, $100.00 is appropriate. If there are two of you then $150.-200.00 is fine. IF they dont appreciate it then let them know that you didnt have to give anything, you were there to celebrate the joining of their lives, not to make their bank account larger......
