Wedding gift how much

[Isanyonereallyanonymous]

My little brother is getting married next Spring. We all adore his fiancée, they’ve been together a long time and are very well suited.

Instead of gifts they’ve asked for £ towards their honeymoon. (Please don’t turn this into a debate as to whether that’s ok or not!)

I am trying to budget but have no idea how much is realistic to gift them?

The wedding involves being away for 3 nights and all the costs that will go with being away (eating out, fuel as it’s a long way away, animal care etc) and money is a bit tight currently.
Is £100 enough?
Trying to start saving now so I can put a bit aside each month but not sure how much to be putting to one side for their gift so suggestions welcome please :)

We went to a wedding in July and we gave £50 as a wedding gift, it a cousin of my husband and they are that close.
In 2019, we had another wedding in which my husband was the best man we have £100.
I will say give as much as you are comfortable, but maybe something between £50-£100.

I love my family and I could afford to give more.

If my brother got married I’ve give him £500.

500 for a sibling. 250 for a close friend or close relative, 100 for others.

I think £100 is fine. With loads of ppl giving money they will have plenty for a great honeymoon.

I think £100 is absolutely fine.

My nephew is getting married soon. If it was just me and my husband going, we’d give £100 or £150. But our 2 young adult sons and their girlfriends are going too so we’re giving £300.

Don't get into debt. Give what you can afford.

Depends what you can afford.

Both my siblings (I'm the youngest) are married and when I was a trainee solicitor and then later a qualified lawyer, I gave the same. The former I was single (well my now fiance was my evening date!) and the latter my fiance went half.

I gave £250 to each - my brothers (second one) wedding was £350 for accommodation, plus outfits, travel, I got my hair and makeup done etc so we probably spent close to £1000 overall. My fiance and I discussed this and 1) we were tied with my gesture for my sister but 2) we both have good jobs and could afford to give that much.

People saying £500 for siblings may be able to afford to financially and/or only have one sibling. Entirely personal - £100 from certain people is VERY generous, but from others is cheaping out.

Thanks all, really appreciate different view points. I would love to spoil them and spend £500 but that’s just not affordable unfortunately but I will take all the suggestions into account.
