Wedding gifts

Average person for cash gift is about $100 and we did do cash gifts too. I had one family not giving anything at all which i cut off right after.

Some people are in tight position which they give what they can. Some guests didn't give anything after i went to visit them. Some did yes.

It seems nice to send noney to thr couples whos wedding you can't make it. If you feel you don't have the funds, im sure a nice card will be be nice. Just be careful not put cash as somw postal workers may open to take the money out. Do an e-transfer rather with a message.

It depends on how well you know them. We have given $100 to $200 per person. For weddings we cannot attend, we give $100-$150 as a couple.

My pet peeve is not receiving thank you's. I have been to many baby shower's, wedding shower's, wedding's and the majority of them have never acknowledged our gifts. This irks me when you buy a card, provide them a gift and do not get a thank you card in return.

So for my wedding and shower before I cash the cheque, I will mailing their thank you cards.

I usually do $100 per person as it will cover the cost of the plate. I have given more in the past to a special couple who my fiance and I thought really deserved something extra. But with 3 weddings in one year, I would stick with a smaller cost!

I would say if you aren't attending then you can put whatever amount you feel comfortable with, as the couple won't be paying for your plate as they would be if you were attending. Personally I wouldn't do any less than 100$ per person as wedding last are expensive and your plate of food is costing at least that. I also think if varries if the couple if paying for the wedding themselves, in which case I make sure to cover the cost, or if their parents are paying, then you could do an actual gift or a gift card for a nice dinner out for the couple

It depends how close you are with the couple. Typically you leave enough money to cover the plate. In Montreal, most halls charge roughly $120-$150 per plate. In weddings in the past I have given that amount plus a little more for the couple.
It totally depends on where you live, location and style of the wedding.

We have always put 50.$ in the card. which will cover the food and maybe some drinks.
