Back to top FaZizzle Yahoo User Posted: Thu Jul 26, 2007 1:19 pm    Post subject: Look at your budget.Look at the couple.If it's family or a closer friend, give between $50-$100, if you can afford it.If it's a friend, give between $25-$50.If it's a distant relative or a friend of a friend, give $25.

Your gift should reflect how well you know the couple and what you can afford.

Also, regardless of the relationship with the couple you have to pay at least for your meal. So you have to take under consideration of where the wedding is being held how much does it take to have dinner at that place. You should always pay at least to cover your plate and your guest. If you want to give more that what your plate costs (and ofcourse if you could afford it ) then go ahead. Always cover you dinner plate the minimum. Back to top how_you_doing?

But as a minimum you'd want to give as a gift enough to cover your dinner, that would be the minimum of courtesy you can provide.

What's your financial situation? Is it family? I would say that minimum $25.00 and up to $100.00 and there I go with that "depends" word again. I guess at the end of the day its whatever you can afford and whatever you are comfortable with. Good luck......

Back to top apple_kaur Yahoo User Posted: Thu Jul 26, 2007 11:42 pm    Post subject: if you and a guest (two people in total) are invited to a night wedding with dinner, then i believe you should pay off two plates (around 60 bucks) and then add the "real" gift which should be around $40.... a good 100 should do it Back to top seest12 Yahoo User Posted: Mon Jul 30, 2007 10:04 am    Post subject: I agree with some of the above comments--you should buy a gift or give $ based on what you can afford and how close you are to the person. But--there are some brides who expect you to "pay for" your plate--this is extremely selfish and uncouth behavior, but there are brides out there like that. If you're worried about offending someone, I'd go on the higher side of what you're comfortable with. I've given my closest friends very meaningful gifts that didn't cost a lot, though... I'd rather give them a gift they truly love than show them how much money I can spend on them. Back to top
