How much to give? - update

Original post by GR2010

So today I have my cousin's wedding in Jersey. We are not close. She's the one who RSVP'd yes for my shower and then was a no show (no gift) this was after my sister and I bought her the vacuum on her registry AND she RSVP'd no to my wedding even though I am going to hers. She's paying $75pp (which I know because she posted it on Facebook and then told everyone she wants $$$$ for gifts)

How much do I give her?

Update - So I decided to just cover our plates. And after going to this wedding I'm glad I didn't give any extra. It was... an experience.

There are pics on my FB page from an album that I'm tagged in I have to get the pics off of my mom's camera...

The wedding... well there was a pad lock on the gift box and the food was kinda gross. My grandmother sent hers back and refused to eat it. The flowers were fake and the water on the tables was warm and had that metalic taste to it, even if you asked for a new glass and asked for cold water the same thing came out. I understand everyone has different taste in music but when you're hosting an event and have a wide range of people I think it best you music not consist of mostly rap, and rap that has so much cursing that old people start to become nervous. And it was SO LOUD my sister, FH and I started texting one another becuase we had to SCREAM to hear the person next to you. And she looked like a hot mess. Staff was taking utensils from one table and putting them on another when people said they needed a fork etc. and when I asked for a cup of tea with dessert I'm pretty sure the water was the same as the tap they were serving because it was luke warm at best and the cake was stale. And just a little thing that irks me, she put Gina and Guest on the seating chart. She's knows FH and we even sent our RSVP back with both of our names on it.

It's an excellent safety feature.
