MOH wedding gift

[Holz321]

So I’ve never been MOH before and only gone to one wedding so far which was not family so when it comes to wedding gifts, I’m not very experienced!
I was wondering what amount would seem most acceptable generally as a wedding gift as a MOH to my childhood school friend? We have arranged two hen dos for her, covered her costs for both, bought my own dress, doing own hair and make up so it has been quite costly for me so far. My husband is also best man and is in the same situation regarding stag do and suits etc.
Is £100 enough? Welcome any thoughts!

Nothing at all given how much you've had to spend so far.

I agree with nothing. I was a MOH for my friend and she got married abroad (a luxury place so it cost about £4.5k for me and my son to attend). Granted, it was a holiday as well but I didn't buy anything for her and she wouldn't have expected anything either.

Unless you are very well off and money is no object, a £50 gift voucher would be more than plenty, and if that is queried it should be explained to them how much you and your husband have already spent to make their wedding and associated celebrations a success which was your gift to them.

BTW bride/groom traditionally buy their wedding party ie bridesmaids small thank you gifts ie bracelet or something.

Given your spendings, I'd also say nothing at this point. If you strongly feel like you have to do something, it could be a sentimental thing like a wedding reception slideshow with their photos. It would make a nice adding and you can include funny pictures of you and your friend as well

Nothing. You've spent enough.

Depends how much you can afford, really.

I don't agree with those saying to give nothing because of what you've spent on your clothes, hen do etc.

You are obviously very important to the couple if you are MOH and your husband is best man. so I think it's appropriate to gift something (but only if you can afford to).

I would give between £50-100 - but that's entirely based on my own circumstances. And if you can't afford anything at this point, explain it to the couple and I'm sure they will understand.

I’d get her a keepsake from Etsy. Something like this:

(I appreciate this may not be to everyone’s taste and I’m not suggesting you get this exact thing, but you get the idea and know what they like. Something small and thoughtful)
