Wedding evening only invitation - what present?

[hockeymum]

Been invited to an evening only wedding party on saturday. People I vaguelly know through work, its just for me, not with a partner so I plan to text people from work who'll be there all day and get one of them to meet me outside so I dont walk in like a nobbynomates!

I asked whether they had a gift list and they said they would rather have money in a card. How much does a reasonably hard up person have to give? (The party is all for people who work on pretty near minimum wage - its not a grand posh thing, most people there are on 8-10 grand a year at a supermarket so not London posh by any means).

Any help gratefully received - I need to know how much to give without being mega stingy!

£10 and a bottle of wine? They won't necessarily know hbow much the wine cost

We are going to a wedding tomorrow night hwere they have asked for money as a present too. Wonder if it's the same one

I'm getting them a present

What about getting together with people from work (who are attending) and pooling your funds and putting it into one card?

Cat64's said it before me!

lilibet - is your wedding in Cardiff?

cat64 - great suggestion - wish I had thought of it sooner, not in work now as on maternity leave so I cant organise it.

Liking the £10 and a bottle of wine idea though MamaG

Fraid not - we are in Wigan

I might just take a prettily-wrapped bottle of something unusual (and unpriceable) instead of the money. But I'm quite tight like that
