 |
|
| I cannot go to the wedding ceremony or reception for my co-worker and was wondering what is a good price range for a gift. We are co-workers, have no outside relationship. Any help would be great. Thanks in advance. |

| Since you have no outside relationship, keeping it simple would be fine. I'd say stick between $20-$30. |

| maybe $50 in cash or around the same price in a gift. we had a small wedding but got cash gifts from a lot of ppl that were $50. some were $20-$25. so anything in that range. we always give $50. |

| $25 gift certificate at the store where they are registered...or...If you can't really spend money, a nice card with best wishes is also very nice. |

| I am constantly invited to weddings and usually whether I attend or not I basically get everyone the same type of gift. I probably haven't ever paid over $20 for any wedding gift. I get a nice card and then I usually pick out a really pretty 8x10 picture frame (silver of course so that it is elegant looking) and I place it in a gift box with tissue paper and then wrap it really in elegant paper with a nice bow. In my opinion presentation of the gift adds to the value of it. Its the thought of the gift that counts not the value of the gift itself.NOTE: I've seen the frame I've given each couple in almost every instance displayed in thier home with thier wedding photo. |

| Nothing extravagant, since you are coworkers and not best friends. No more than $30, I would say, but you should give whatever price range you feel comfortable with. |

| Since you are not attending the wedding, really any gift would be fine. You could either get a little something for them off of their registry in the 30-50 range or get a bargain type gift from Target or TJ Maxx (crystal bowl or vase).But really, any gift you give would be a lovely gesture since you are simply co-workers and you aren't going to the wedding. |
