Probably around 50-75 dollars...enough for a mid-range appliance and some wishing well items.

Re: Hypothetically speaking

definitely on the higher end of the spectrum....something very nice....or a few things. I'd say $200-300

you gotta remember its for THEM not the girl your bro is marrying.

I definitely agree with you that it is a gift for THEM. I would def go above and beyond for my bro and his fh...hypothetically speaking.

I'm just wondering what others think is the right thing to do.

Damn, once again I'm the cheapo. So, um...ignore me

Re: Hypothetically speaking

I'd do anywhere from $50-$100 for the shower. I'd save up the big money for the wedding gift

I don't think you are cheap! Some might call you frugal No, but seriously, don't break the bank BEFORE the wedding, right?!?

Re: Hypothetically speaking

Go with what you're comfortable with! There's no right or wrong answer, especially when you're planning a wedding yourself. But to actually answer your question, if I could afford it, I would spend at least $100, if not more. I have a soft spot in my heart for all things bed, bath, and beyond.
