to ask how much you spend on wedding presents?

[HollyGoLoudly]

Was with a friend recently when we stopped at a cash machine on our way to a wedding and she said I just need to get £xx to pop into the card. It was almost double what I had spent (we are in the same friendship group) and I was a bit . Don't want people thinking I am a cheapskate and had no idea people gave that much as a present!

I know this might vary depending if it is a close friend or a colleague for example but roughly what would you spend/give?

What MyOtherUsername said

Usually £100 in a card, often I get the equivalent in currency for their honeymoon and tell them to have dinner on us!

If it’s evening only then they get a bottle of champagne.

Entire wedding in stately Home - £100 for couple (disregarding how close we are to the bride and groom)

Evening reception only - £50-60 for couple depending on open bar or not.

Depends really. We have done everything from £25 for the daughter of a friend when attending their evening reception to £500 for my niece who we are very close to.

You need to work out what you can afford and how close you are to the people getting married and give accordingly.

£50 generally maybe £100 if close friends

We have a wedding in August. It's cost us a fortune, new outfits for 5 of us, hen and stag do, and hotel overnight for wedding. And gift too (they've asked for money). 😬

I'd only buy a gift over £100 for immediate family and don't subscribe to the theory you need to cover the cost of attending otherwise the couple should just charge an entry fee.

I usually just pick something I like from the gift list and thankfully family don't do cash requests as they aren't liked.

€200 is standard for a couple round my way

Could probably get away with €150 if only one of you knew them or weren’t that close.

€100 for a single person
