No date? $150 is fine. It's probably what I would give.

I am no expert in this by any means, but just logically I think $150 is very very nice. he is covering his plate, which is most important.
he did spend a lot on the whole thing, so $150 is super nice

That's what I gave a friend when I went to her wedding that I traveled to, so I think it's appropriate.

When I was a BM I gave $250...but I guess its a little different because it was my boyfriend-at-the-time's sister who I am really close with (she's my MOH).

I think $200 is good. $150 doesnt always cover your plate-- not that it matters-- but I try to give a bit more knowing how expensive weddings are these days
