Hi, My parents have not been to a wedding in a while. They are going to one, but are not close friends with the bride and groom. On average, what are people giving today for a wedding gift? Any suggestions are appreciated!

Re: Wedding Gift
If it is not family or close friends I would give 100-150.

i would say 200. Close friends and family I give 275-300. I would never give less than 200 for 2 people.

We normally give $200 from both of us if it's not close friends or close family.

I wouldn't even consider giving less than $200. We give $300, more for close friends.

Re: Wedding Gift
I know this bothers some, but I have heard some people say enough to cover their plates...

Re: Wedding Gift
I usually give 100.00 each person. So if I go alone I give 100 if both go I give 200.

Re: Wedding Gift
I would say minimum 200 simply because we all know how much weddings are on LI- I know some dont like the idea of cover your plate but I personally think about that IMO of course

Re: Wedding Gift
I go now by what gifts I got for my engagement party
Many couples who never met my FH and I gave us 200- 250
Id probably give enough to cover our costs and about 100 extra for the couple to save

Re: Wedding Gift
I would give between $200-$300. The general rule of thumb I've heard is to cover your plate.
