If you are a normal person, how much cash do you put in a wedding card?

[BretonStripe]

Bride and groom have asked for cash to spend on honeymoon. Not an extravagant couple or wedding (2nd time around for him). We are good friends and going to whole day and evening.

So if you are not rich and not poor, how much do you give?

£80

If I’m going as part of a couple then probably £100 and I’d get a little personal gift too. If it’s a close friend then probably more.

As a couple I'd put £100, as a single £50. That would be for all day and night invite for people I liked.
I'm a nurse so not rich but not on the breadline either.

I’d also get it in honeymoon currency if I knew where it was.

I would give £50

Between £50 and £100.

£20. Our monthly disposable income is £100 so that is generous.

£50 is what we usually give or if it’s a best friend then we give £100

If going evening only, probably £25

People’s interpretation of what is the amount appropriate will vary greatly.

£50
Try and make them something like a little hamper or whatnot too to take round before wedding. Fave chocs bath stuff.

Yes we are a couple with two young kids. I have already given a small good luck gift to the bride, (and I've spent £60 on a dress she chose as myself and a couple of other mates are matching as she wanted us to match to stand out as her best friends).

Sorry should have mentioned that in OP

£20 (though usually I give a voucher rather than a note)

When we got married 4 years ago £20s was the most common present from our generation (mid 20s) and £50/£100 from our parents generation (50s and 60s)

Maybe £20 or £50 if especially close. I think expecting people to "cover their plate" is tacky

I hate this. I'm always afraid of giving too much as much as I am giving too little.

£100 seems ostentatious to me.

Close family £50, friend £30.

Probably £50.
More if very close.
That said almost all of my friends have got married miles away and needed hotel etc, don't mind that but it does affect the present budget.

£50 for an all day wedding. Close friends £100.

I'm an impoverished student (well, not that impoverished, but on a PhD stipend rather than a salary) and for close friends I would give £50, plus perhaps a token gift/bottle of champagne if going on my own.

So if you're going as a couple, probably £100 or a bit more? It's quite tricky! Could you buy a nice round number in the currency of where they're going?

£50ish (maybe £100 if really close friends) plus a little personal gift to unwrap.

FWIW £50 or thereabouts is what most of our mid to late 20s friends did for our wedding a few years ago and seems to be the done thing in our friendship group.

Bestseller ditto!! I've given £20 to mates where I've only gone to the evening reception before.

£100 seems like a lot to me.

I would give £50. £100 is ridiculous for somebody that isn't a close relative, and I'm saying this as somebody that can afford to lose it. Then again, I hate it when a couple asks for money as it's usually to cover their extravagant wedding/honeymoon that they can't actually afford.

Gave a 100 if they invited all of us all day (and put on loads for kids to have a great time).

£50 for family member or most friends if I’ve been invited to the full day. Less if I’m just an evening guest. £100 seems extravagant to me and I’m reasonably well off.

My post sounds odd, I meant a wedding last year had put on loads for kids, I don't expect it of course.

We always did £50 but with the two most recent weddings, upped things to £75 - inflation! But these were all full-day invitations. Can't recall what we gave for the evening do we went to some years back.

There won't be any more weddings now, I shouldn't think, until the next generation unless re-marriages.

The champagne admittedly doesn't tend to cost me — my parents usually give me a bottle to take if it's somebody they know (it's generally been my schoolfriends getting married so far).
