This is my FI's first cousin, but they're not close at all.

Since you're not going, maybe a $50 gift would be okay...only since it's not a close relation

I KNOW I am odd man out - but I also don't believe in covering your plate I give what I can afford. I personal give what I would give it I attended the wedding - I don't like to penalize the couple because my money or schedule didn't allow me to attend - so I give the same regardless - But that is just me - and I know I am odd man out in this case - Since it is a cousin I would give what I could afford and would like to give

Re: If you're not going to the wedding, what's an appropriate amount to spend on a gift?

I would think 50 - 100 is also fine, you arent close with them and you arent attending the wedding,when we got married, I had alot of relatives out of state that couldnt make it, but they sent gifts..some sent money ( 50 -100) and some sent gifts off of our registry, we LOved it ALL, a gift is something that you dont already have..so send what you can and dont stress it, they will be thankful to have it!!!
