Wedding Gift - Springfield,VA

Hi, M.M.:

What can you afford?

Good luck.

Depends on your budget and how close you are to the couple.

I would plan for $100-$200 depending on my relationship with the couple. If it were a closer relative, etc... I'd give more.

It really depends on your relationship with them. I typically give $100 for friends, maybe as much as $150 for my closest friends. However, if that's out of your price range, you can go with $50-75.

If you weren't giving cash, how much would you spend on a gift at the store? Give the equivalent in cash.

Depends on your relationship with them and what you can afford. I had to travel to my sister's wedding in November and was in the bridal party, but I still did a gift that was about $150.

I had a friend get married a few years ago, and she got a $50 gift card at her shower and another $50 cash at the wedding. So $100 total...no travel or bridal party expenses included.

So it really depends on a lot of factors. I'd say $100 though without knowing anything else.

Truly, there is no such thing as an "approriate amount." What's appropriate is based upon what you can afford and your relationship with them.

Just give them whatever you are comfortable with in a lovely card (I adore a card I can frame and hang on the wall).

$100 would be the minimum (depending on your budget). If this is someone with whom you are very close (niece, life long friend's child, etc) you may want to do a little more or do cash and something small from their registry. Otherwise, $100 would be perfect!
