ok so i know this is a weird question--but my mom and i were talking yesterday and she was trying to figure out how to budget her money, and the question came up of how much she should spend on a shower and wedding gift for me-and i told her that i really dont know what's normal-any help?

I am not much help here, but I thought (and this is how its done in my family) parents give and pay for stuff in the roam of their possibilities. they check what they can afford and give/pay for that.

i depends on wha she can afford. My mom insisted on paying for my entire shower, some moms do this and some go in with bms and pay equally... some spend more...its what she can afford.

I don't think it is a set amount, whatever they can afford.
