Evening wedding guest

What to get as a gift? How much to spend?

The day happened in covid, obviously limited numbers. We are going to the evening reception celebration.

Haven't been to a wedding in several years. No idea where to start with a gift.

Do they have a gift register? I’d start there. If not I’d give cash. As much as you feel comfortable with.

I always go with money too. I didn’t expect gifts from evening guests though, I think anything will be appreciated.

When I’ve been invited to the evening do of weddings, I’ve always taken them a bottle of good champagne.

Interested in this thread?

Would always give cash. How much depends on how well we know them and what we can afford at the time.

In these circumstances I don’t think evening guest necessarily means anything. You shouldn’t gift based on that but what they mean to you as a couple.

Buy the gift based on who they are to you, not how much they had to change their wedding plans because of a global pandemic

I usually give cash or gift vouchers if they have specified they would like some for a certain shop. £20 to £30 is what I usually give for an evening invite more if someone I am really close to, £50 to £100 is what I would usually give for a full day.

Bottle of wine. I’d usually say a card but it sounds like the wedding was some time ago so wouldn’t do that now.

I’d take a bottle of champagne or something else that had a value of about £50.

A good bottle of wine (assuming culturally appropriate). If there were a wedding list I’d go for a £20 gift.
