HELP! Wedding tonight what do I give....

Ok heres some background. My friend from JR high is getting married tonight. I invited her to my wedding and this week she called when she got my invite. She said I got your invite. I am getting married too.. Friday! I have your invite here bought I thought you moved! (I have and my parents have lived here forever but thats ok)! So do you want to come I felt bad... Im sure I was only invited because she got my Invite (even though whenever I would bump into her she'd ask me what date it was almost like so she can remember). The wedding is 6:30-10:30 at NRC. I am assuming that there is noi Cocktail hour cause of the times. She said it is a buffet. And she is 4 months pregnant (not that that matters just giving some background).

My Question is I am going bymyself cause Mike has to work (boy am I going to feel like a loser) is 100.00 an OK gift?????? I usually try to give like 200.00 I don't know what to do. I know we always say give what you feel is right but I don't want to be to cheap!!!!!! HELP!

I think that's fine, given the circumstances. Just be aware that it's very likely that you will get the same gift back regardless of whether she brings her husband to yours or not.

I think $100 is very generus since you didn't get a formal invite and you're going by yourself.

Not to mention that Her best friends family (I went to school with them) ownes the Noth Ritz Club so I am sure she got a nice discount cause of that!
