What’s a reasonable wedding gift for an abroad wedding?

[Wintermothering]

Attended a few weddings abroad previously, and bought a small, thoughtful or personalised gift. If UK wedding, usually gave £50-£100 cash as a couple.

Got an upcoming wedding, no gift list or requests. It’s quite a big expense to attend, we’ve had to save up. What is reasonable for a wedding gift for abroad wedding?

A lovely card with a nice message!

I’d probably give the same as I’d give here tbh.

Your presence and the fact you’ve paid £££ to be there.

I am having a wedding “abroad” the country where myself and DF live but most of our family will be travelling from the uk. We have no gift list and honestly expect nothing, we know it’s a big expense and do not need gifts on top of that.
a few family members have insisted and I’ve told them to buy us something small for our home that they think we love as I like having little bits around the house to remind me of far away family.

Your presence is their present!😇😆

Thank you for confirming my thoughts.

I think I’m just a bit nervous when at a recent wedding, another guest implied I wasn’t generous enough with my gift!

I got married abroad twice, didn't want any presents but really money is all you can give as noone is going to want to take goods abroad and bride and groom aren't gonna want to ship them to the UK. Are they not having a UK party afterwards?

Not aware of a UK party

I was thinking if a gift, I could send gift to UK address

I was in a similar spot last year and ended up chipping in for a group present through Corporate Gift Malaysia—worked really well since they had classy but practical options that didn’t break the bank. Everyone in our group just sent in what they could afford, and it ended up feeling thoughtful without adding stress about travel costs and all that.

Blimey, I’d regard £100 as a generous gift, not a modest one!

I think it’s weird to bring gifts to any wedding. Don’t people normally send it to the house of the bride (if not living together) or if mates of the groom his house? No one brought a gift to my wedding - they were sent to our house, whether they were off the list or not. No one gave us money either.

I think £50-75 in a nice card is fine as you will be travelling to get to their wedding and that is expensive.
