I would say about $50-100 is good, depending on your financial situation. spend what you can.

It's born out of guilt.Bring a gift that you know will mean something to the bridal couple - that won't break YOUR budget. But make it meaningful.

That way they get what they asked for and you can choose what you want to spend for the most part.

Spend what you can afford. If you've got $200 laying around, why not, but if you don't, I totally wouldn't worry about it.

A wise couple will have chosen a range of gifts so that guests from all different financial situations and relations to the bride and groom can choose an item that's right for them.So how much you spend really depends on three factors:- How much can you reasonably afford?- What gift(s) will be representative of you and right for this couple?- How close are you to the bride and/or groom?Ignore the per plate cost and come up with your answer based on the three factors above.Cheers!

We didn't tell the guests how much we were spending on them. So my gut feeling is that you spend what you can afford and what your generosity is prompting you to spend.

Don't feel bad if you can't give the full amount. Being there to support the couple is the most important thing.

I dont feel I should have to compensate for that. I give what I can when I go to a wedding. usually for me its $100 becuase I dont have much. I suggest giving what you can too.
