How much money to give for a wedding gift?

[ssd]

I realise this is all about how much money you have in the first place and how close you are to the bride and groom
I'm asking from the viewpoint of low earners who are related to the groom through marriage
How much to give? I know whatever we give won't be close to other relatives who are well off. Please give me an amount, don't say whatever you can afford.
Thanks.

You only give money / follow gifting instructions when you go. If you can’t then it’s fine just to send a card or order a cheap gift from Amazon.

I have been in a similar situation and just sent my apologies and best wishes for the wedding.

Just send a card. Tacky to tell people to hand over money. There are threads on here with people telling brides to get money from guests to pay for their bloody wedding! As for the 'cover your plate', that's an utter swizz made up by wedding forums.

In this situation I would be more likely to send a gift but if I was set on cash maybe €50 or £40.

What sort of gift could I send abroad though?

25£ that's from my recent experience and taking into account you are not going to attend.

If you're not attending I wouldn't send a gift. I've never sent a gift to a wedding I didn't attend, and we didn't receive any gifts from people who declined our wedding invite either - I wouldn't have expected to!

OP, I am quite generous when it comes to wedding gifts. I am only saying this because in your shoes, based on the info disclosed by you, I would send a card only.

Unless the B&G are close to me/us, I do not feel obliged to send them a gift if I/we cannot attend their wedding.

A congratulations card will suffice.

A nice card. End of.

My experience is that those with the least money are the most generous. Of my friends, the consultants/dentists were likely to give 20 whilst the teachers and nurses gave 50 to 100.
