have you given a couple if you are in their wedding party...gifts...money...everything?

usually $500 as a gift from a couple.. (if one of is is in the bp)
that all depends....the only weddings I have been in were my sisters weddings and i was a student at the time so i couldn't give much. to be completely honest.....i am not expecting cash gifts or any registry gifts from my bridal party because they are paying for so much like the shower, bach party, their dresses and shoes, and other little odds and ends for the day of. If they were to give a gift, I would think that it would be significantly smaller than those who were attending the wedding as guests. I feel it in bad form to expect a large gift from them....that said....i would give what you think is best and what you can afford. (since being in the party can make a significant chip in the bank account)
When I was a BM in my best friend's wedding, FH and I gave her and her husband $500. That obviously doesn't include the rest of the money we spent on the wedding between my dress, shoes, hair, makeup, e-party gift, shower gift, and b-party.
i know generally people feel that when you are in the bridal party you should give a bigger gift , but I agree with one of the above posters.. in my opinion you already spent a lot of money being in someone's wedding so I wouldnt give extra just for being in the bridal party i wouldnt give less either. I guess i would give the same that I would give to a regular wedding-- and that would depend on closeness.. i.e. family, vs. friend vs. coworker etc. (granted if you are in the bridal party, you are presumably pretty close-=))
