Ok... so if my friend decides to elope and then sends out a wedding announcement. what do you think is an appropriate gift?

$150? I really have no idea

Re: Gift Etiquette

I kinda eloped but I refuse to send out announcements even though MIL insists.

I think it's a ploy for gifts

Re: Gift Etiquette

I would give $100. More if you are close to her. (JMO).

$100-$150

I agree with this range depending on how close you are to this friend.

Re: Gift Etiquette

I agree, I think $150 is a nice gift.

Re: Gift Etiquette

Is she registered? I would send something off the registry if she is- and depending on how close a friend she is somewhere between $100-$150

Re: Gift Etiquette

girls-how about if you were invited to the wedding and couldn't make it...what's an appropriate amount to give. I gave $100.00 even though the plate per person might have been a little more. Was that okay?

Re: Gift Etiquette

Money is good. But if you are good friends why send the announcement? I think she just wants gifts...JMHO

Re: Gift Etiquette

Maybe a gift certificate to a restaurant? I feel like money would be weird in that situation- but thats totally just me!

Re: Gift Etiquette

I would do either a gift card of money. You can never go wrong with cash. I agree with everyone else about 100-150

I think thats fine since they aren't actually paying for you to come to the wedding.

Re: Gift Etiquette

I would send her a card that said congratulations. I wouldn't even think to send a gift. If I suddenly eloped I wouldnt expect people to get me anything. But this is JMO.
