Cash for honeymoon

[FiveMoreMinutesPlease]

How much is reasonable to give as a cash gift towards honeymoon as a couple going to a weekend wedding? . Is £50 too stingy, or £100 too much?

Any thoughts gratefully received.

What would you ordinarily spend on the gift? Give that.

£100 if you can afford it.

Thanks. Probably go with the £100. I'd much rather give a present but it's what they want .

Normally depends how well I know the couple.

We have asked for this for our wedding (unpopular opinion) but I honestly wouldn't expect much over £30 and would be really happy for that.

We got married on Friday and we've been so pleasantly surprised and humbled by what we were given. We didn't have a gift list or specifically ask for cash.. we just didn't say anything. Almost everyone gave us either £100 or £150 in cash - absolutely did not expect anywhere near that!

We've opted for £100 cash in a card. Hope it doesn't get lost x

We usually give £50. If you're worried about it getting lost ask for their bank details-I had friends who had their card/gift box stolen. Thankfully they'd taken out wedding insurance but we had a text a few weeks later asking how much we'd gifted so they could put in a claim - DH said we'd given them £1k

It depends on what your financial circumstances are and, to some extent, how close you are / your relationship to the couple. Potentially, how wealthy the couple are - if a friend who recently had won the lottery / Premium Bonds / inherited a massive house etc said "No presents", I'd take them at their word. If a normal young couple starting out said "no present" , I'd ignore that and give a cash gift or voucher.

I'm on a tight budget so probably £20.
I'd be gobsmacked if someone gave me £100 for a wedding present.

Probably £50 is average for my group of friends. Close family would probably give £100. But people give what they want to (if they want to) / what they can afford and no one bats an eyelid either way so don't overthink it.

Is go for £50 as single person, £100 as a couple. I wouldn't do cash in a card though I spent most of my wedding reception fretting about losing cards with money in and had a weird situation when I heard from another relative years later that they were pissed off I never said thank you for a card with money in I never got

When my DD got married 20 years ago they ended up with £1000 . That was Saturday . On Sunday they searched the internet for a last minute holiday and on Monday morning flew to The Dominican Republic for two weeks All Inclusive in a really nice hotel . Even that long ago £490 each for such a holiday was a bargain . I don't think anyone gave them as much as £50 but it all certainly added up !

Depends entirely on what you can afford. I'd give £100-150 depending on closenesss.

I fully appreciated my friends who didn't have cash to give but gave beautiful cards. I didn't invite them for cash.
