Wedding gift amount...

[Whatsername7]

Dh's cousins married abroad and are now having a 'wedding party' at a venue at home. We were invited to the wedding but couldn't afford to go. No offence taken by the bride and groom, whom we get on well with. I didn't end up sending a card before the wedding, but sent well wishes via text and promised to bring the card to the wedding party which is next weekend. However, I don't know what to do about a gift. They didn't include a gift list as they married abroad. They have kids already and live together so don't really need house things. Would £30 in a card be an ok amount? Or should I get a gift? If so, what? I dont want to buy champagne or a photo frame as they are likely to have loads.

If that is what you can afford comfortably, it will be fine. It is the thought that matters. I would probably try to make it 50, but 30 is respectable.

Agree with flyingspaghettimonster. £50 feels more generous, but £30 is fine if that's all you can afford.

Yes that’s perfectly fine

For parties at home and evening receptions we usually go down the route of £40, not really sure why, might be thinking £20 for each of them

£49 for an evening invite, £100 for a dull day invite is how we go

Dull day = full day

We had anything between £20-£100 given at our wedding.
I recently gave my friend £20, although not bitter but she didn't even get me a card and alot of my other friends gave £20 between 2 of them lol.
So up to you really, I'd be happy with anything

Isn't the rule usually to give at least enough to cover the cost of your attendance? Maybe try to find out how much they're paying per person and give them something along those lines?
