I would never give money as a gift. If you cant manage anything more personal than that, then the appropriate amount would be the amount you would spend on a gift.
When my brother got married, I gave them $100. So I would say at least $100 or $150. Remember, it probably costs at least $50 for a plate of food.
I think a monetary gift is appropriate because they are starting their lives together and you are basically giving them a financial boost even if its a small amount after their wedding expenses every little bit helps. I would give them between 50.00 to 100.00
I would say it is what you can afford. A place setting of china might be aproximately $85 – $100. If you choose to give her a monetary gift, maybe incorporate it with a bottle of champagne, champagne glasses, wine and cheese in a honeymoon basket. You could put a handwritten wish with it in a card earmarked for spending money on her honeymoon. I like to wrap baskets like this in toule with a nice ribbon on top. I’d try to put some real thought behind the monetary gift. One of the things that is nice about wedding gifts is that you think of that person every time you use the item. So she will think of you every time she uses or sees the champagne glasses and remember the nice basket you assembled for her.
family members i give 500.$
at least $100 and a heartfelt note with it.
50 dollars. per person.
Well, how much can you afford? How close are you to your niece?
My hubby and I were married a couple weeks ago. We received mostly monetary gifts.
The most we got was from any one person was $500 (my favorite uncle). The smallest amount was $50 (my favorite aunt, single lady, can’t afford a ton).
Most gifts were in the $100 to $200 range. The larger monetary gifts were from aunts and uncles who were a little more comfortable with their financial situations.
Basically, give what you are comfortable with. If you feel like it’s breaking your bank, then it’s too much. If you’re not very close with the girl, then definitely don’t give beyond your means.
Good luck!
It could depend on how close you are. My uncle and I are Very close, he has taken care of me a good part of my life and he gave us 300 dollars.
That may be more than some other uncles give. I think a good amount depends on how much you CAN give. If you are really close then maybe 75-100 dollars.
If you arent that close then 40-50 dollars since she is family.
Guess it depends on there age and how well off you are. But i would give like $25-200 depending on who they are and such
