Re: how much should we give
I would say $500 is good. That's how much my sister gave me, and I was happy with it. She came alone (no guest). Even if she hadn't been able to afford anything, I would have understood.
My husband and i are both in my Sister in laws wedding in June. How much do you think we should give for a give, She paid i think $50-60 a person. my husband thinks we should give $500 then sd he thinks that was not enough. I never had a sibling wedding to attend what do you think a good amount is?

My step brother is getting married next week, and we are getting married in a month. Rather than them just giving us a check back for what ever we gave them we just asked them if we could not exchange wedding gifts. We honestly don't have the money and they don't either, so it worked out for the best. I know this may not work for everyone's situation, but it can't hurt to suggest it.
Also taking into account that you will be buying a BM's dress, a shower gift and part of the bachlorette party I think $500. is a good amount.
i think 500-1k is enough.
When my brother got married I bought them all 12 setting of there silverware and a box to put it in, which was close to $500
