I am going to an e-party this weekend and FH is in the wedding but we are not sure what we should give the couple as a gift. The rest of FH's friends who are in the wedding say to give a gift card....but they are all being very cheap about it and I said maybe we should do something separate. What is a good gift idea or if we do a gift card how much is appropriate??? We havent had our e-party yet so I can't go based on what others would give to us....help!!!
is it at their home or at a place?
i give cash
Cash
they are having the party at a place.....Shandon Court I believe......(hope I spelt that right)......I know the proper gift would be money....but the wedding is about 3 yrs away and they are having 3 e-parties......How much would you give? Keep in mind this is his close friend he went to HS with.

when i was in my friend's wedding we put $150.00 in the card because i grew up with and am still very close with both the bride and groom. It was all i could afford at the time.. but i felt it was an appropriate amount for the eparty. Me and FH split it.. so it wasn't too bad on either of our pockets ( we were both in between jobs at the time so it was rough for us money wise )

personally for e-parties i give around $200...you can do $150 for you and fh though or whatever you're comfortable with

at our party, the gits averaged from $50-75/pp. We got more cash than gift cards, but we definitly appreciate both as much as the other. We are saving our gift cards to buy the dyson![]()

wow $200?? What would you give for the wedding if I may ask.......?
I don't want to be cheap about it especially since he is in the wedding but I think if i told you what his other friends approached my FH with as far as what they should give it was totally embarrassing and not enough money.
I would say for good friends at least 150.
