I know everyone's circumstances are different so what you may do could be different to the next person but I have no idea what the etiquette is for this type of thing as don't go to many weddings!

My nephew is getting married in June and we got the wedding poem for money and no gifts in the invitation.

I'm currently on maternity pay so we're feeling the pinch.. Is there a right or wrong amount to give??

On our invitations we said no gifts but cash if you must (no poem!), pretty common these days I think. Most people gave cash, a few didn't, which is absolutely fine, we genuinely would not have minded if we got nothing from anyone.
We live in a small flat which is already full to bursting, we did not want gifts. If you say no gifts and don't give an alternative people still buy them for you.
As it was the cash we got made us a bit less skint after the huge expense of the wedding so was hugely appreciated.
