Wedding cash gift - how much?

DP and I are attending a small wedding (16 people) next month, a couple of hours away from home. DP is best man.

We are torn with how much to give as a wedding gift. DP doesn’t want to give any more than £50 as he has had to pay for his own kilt hire, we’re paying for 2 nights in a hotel, petrol money and taking two and a half days annual leave to attend the wedding. Plus the couple didn’t appear very grateful when we got them engagement, new home and baby gifts.

I don’t particularly want to stretch to much more considering all of the above, however it feels a bit mean giving £50 as day guests when we usually gift £50 as evening guests.

Should we just suck it up and stretch to £100?

Literally going to brother-in-law's wedding today, not in Gretna though, and we bought a personalised gift (approx £50) a personalised card, and have put £50 in a card. I think £50 is fine.
