$$$$$$$$$$

Everything is to your own discretion... We gave all our friends $350 for their engagement regardless where they had it. When it was our turn, we received it back.

$350?!?!

ugh!!!

Cash gifts for eparties...
Depending on how close you are to the couple, give based on that. At Shawn's cousins eparty we could only afford at the time to give $150, money was tight and we just couldnt do more, so for their wedding we bought them a surround sound system for their apartment (MAJOR money for that...) and I just recently gave them their kitchen aid mixer. They also had the eparty in a hibernian hall and their parents cooked the food for everyone, no dj, no cp's, so their cost was very low for the party...

i dont know if you need to give that much, but i dont think you should let the place dictate how much you're giving someone..

and if you want to do a registry search im pretty sure you can go to the knot and they have a search that will look for everywhere a couple is registered

its fh best man.
money is tight due to our wedding but we dont want to be cheap either.

I would give $100-150. Most of our friends gave us in that range for our e-party. If you want to buy a gift too, maybe a nice picture frame, photo album, coasters, etc. Something small, more like a gesture to go along with the cash.

For instance, one of my BM's gave us $100 and a Lenox double picture frame off of my registry.

One of the nicest gifts FH and I got, if you wanted to buy a gift was Lenox wine glasses, and a 3 month membership to a wine club we get 2 bottles a month. It was so nice, and different. We just got our first delivery and the wine was soooo good!!

this is a great idea!!!!!!!!!
the groom loves to go winery hopping every year!!!

this is also a great idea!!!!!!!!

i like the idea of cash and a gift..
if they're not registered anywhere i would just be sure to give them a gift receipt-
and i think around 150 is a good amount if you're also giving a gift

$$$$$ - That's what we all nedd!
