That sounds awful, but is it in a nutshell.
We have three weddings this year, and all three couples came to our wedding two years ago. We got mainly cash gifts at ours but the amounts varied wildly from £15 to £150 - for the same sort of 'level' of friendship/relationship iyswim.
I know that we got cash from all three couples but I couldn't remember the amounts - so I had a look at the list we made when we were opening our cards and stuff (for memory/thank you card purposes). One couple gave us £30, another £50 and the other £100.
I've said to dh that we'll have to give the same sort of amount for them. He was horrified, said that's really crass and we should just give fifty quid each.
I don't mind giving £50 to the friends that gave us £30 (i'm not that tight!) but I feel really uncomfortable giving £50 to the friend that gave us £100. I think we should give them either £100 (or equivalent in Euros for their honeymoon) or give them £50 plus a nice £50ish gift.
Thoughts?

To give a wedding present based on what they gave us for our wedding?
