I'm going to a wedding there on Saturday with a lunch reception. How much do you think I should give? I want to make sure I cover for our plates at the least...
TIA

Give what you can afford of course but I would say $200 per couple should cover it!! Of course it would depend how well you know the couple!!

i agree $200 is a good gift. its not really about covering your plate anymore.

I think it's more about what you can afford and how close you are to the couple but $200 will MORE than cover your plate for a daytime event at swan club

I'd give the same for a daytime or a nighttime function. I tend to give on the generous side. $200 would do it and possibly $250-300 if I actually liked the couple.

Is that before or after tax/tip?

Re: how much $ to give for a lunch reception
$100 p/p is definitely more than enough. NRC isn't even that much during the day and Sawn Club is not nearly as expensive as NRC.
