Wedding Gift Spend

How much do you typically spend on a wedding gift? Obviously it will vary by whose wedding. So let’s say’s -
Parents, siblings or children’s wedding?
Close friend’s wedding?
Distant friend’s wedding?

My dad is getting married in two weeks. We’ve bought the gift and have asked step-siblings (ex-wife’s kids - they’re still very close to my dad) to chip in if they want.

Just curious what others would spend.

Probably 100ish for parents
More for kids if I had any
50-100 close friends
Up to 50 less close

Something like that

If invited as a couple -
Close family: £500
Close friends: £350
Normal friends: £250

But DH would probably spend £25 on all 😅

15yrs ago we'd give
Sibling- £250
Friends- £100
Friends where we couldn't attend the wedding £50

I'd imagine its doubled now.
