[QUOTE="Lothlorien, post: 84098, member: 1024"] I think it depends on the area that you live and the type of bash they are giving. Typically around here, weddings at formal places run between $125.00 and $175.00 per person. husband and I at least like to pay for our dinners, so we will give somewhere between $200. and $300. as a gift. But, that's typical for this area. I'm sure that probably seems ostentatious to some. I've rarely been to a wedding, here, where gifts were given, other than money. I've been to a wedding in Colorado, where the bride and groom got a lot of personal wedding gifts. I've also been to wedings in other areas where gifts were given. My aunt lives in Florida. She gives about $50.00 when she goes to a wedding. I really think it just depends on where you live and how much you can afford. Typically, brides and grooms are just happy to have you there to celebrate the day and the gift is not all that important. I never went back to the list and compared what people gave and if they gave or didn't. I had a friend who gave $25.00 at our wedding. I was happy that he came. I didn't care if he gave anything at all. I happened to remember his small contribution, because it meant more than some of the larger amounts. He was going through a bad divorce and didn't have much money. Perhaps you should ask some of your friends where you live what is typical. [/QUOTE]
