Question for my coworker

The wedding reception she is going to is at a small chinese resturant, not a RH.. How much should she give as a gift?

Re: Question for my coworker

I would give just as much as I would have if it was at a fancy RH, it all depends on the relationship she has with the couple and her budget

I wouldn't base it on the place of the reception but more on their relationship.

Re: Question for my coworker

if it's just a coworker and they aren't that close i would give maybe $75-$100

i agree, I don't feel you should give more bc someone either has the money to go all out, or wants to go bankrupt over their wedding.

I agree too... My coworker on the other hand is not that close with this person so she wasn't sure what was appropriate. Also, I dont think they are doing the RH for cultural reasons so its not about money at all so she is even more confused about that (as am i) and what is normally an appropriate gift in these situations...Oy!
