THE ETIQUETTE

She offers these guidelines to wedding-goers wherever they might be: A distant relative or co-worker should give $75-$100; a friend or relative, $100-$125; a closer relative, up to $150. If you are wealthy, are you expected to inflate the gift? No, Cooper says

So, you revived this thread, which is 3 years old, to post this nonsense? Who is "She"? I assume "She" is "Cooper"? Who the hell is Cooper? Because you are quoting her on something she clearly knows little to nothing about. No one who understands "etiquette" (all caps, lol) well would give blanket price ranges for this; they would fully understand that it depends on culture as well as relationship. Culture of family, culture of community, etc. This has got to be ancient advice anyway (in addition to just being wrong) given how outrageously low those amounts are.
