How much would you give.....

My fiance, sister and I were invited to an out of the country wedding (We are not going) for a family friend who I havent seen in years and we were only close when we were young.

How much would you give us a gift from the 3 of us?

I was thinking $150???

Well I have gotten $100 checks from 2 couples that aren't able to attend my wedding... One couple are friends of my parents, who I hadn't seen in YEARS. I'd say $150 would be good for the 3 of you.

I agree...anything is good if you aren't even attending. If you feel weird with giving money, maybe try to buy something else on her registry list.

I would try to do this first, something from the registry might be nice and you can give something that seems bigger from the 3 of you instead of just sending a check. If she doesn't have one then whatever amount you can afford is fine since you won't even be attending.

I think $150 is very generous. I would be happy with any gift I got from people who aren't coming. I'm not expecting money from No's so I think its a nice gesture :)
