Are the couple British?

Are you attending the whole day or just evening? On your own or as a couple?

We haven't been to a wedding in 15yrs, but back then, if DH and I attended the whole day together, we'd give £100.

What can you afford? Are you going to the wedding and if so is it you , DH & DC?

Personally for daughter of a close friend, someone I had seen growing up, I would be looking at £100, but if that’s too much for you, give what your budget allows.

If just the evening, then I'd give £50.
