| ... on a wedding of someone who is in your loose circle of friends, but who you're not close to and have casually interacted with perhaps a total of 10 times over the course of 1 year? we won't be able to go to the wedding - too far to travel - and i'm not sure what is an appropriate amount. |

| I'd send a hundred dollars. More if I was attending in person. |

| $50.00 |

OP,
It depends on your circumstances! That's how these things work. There aren't set amounts. $100 if you're very comfortable, $50 if that's better for you, etc. The bride will not remember when all is said and done! |

choose somethign nice from their registry, 50 is plenty.
fwiw, we had friends spend what we thought was way too much on us, other friends who didn't get gifts (it is optional you know) and many in between (we put a ton of 20-50 dollar items on our registry). Our favorite gifts were things like national parks pass, a bottle of nice champagne to drink on our 1 year anniversary, invitation to home cooked dinner, etc. stuff that had experiences/feeling attached to them, not the monetary value of the gift itself. |

| If you can afford more, $50 seems pretty cheap to me. I'd probably spend $100 or a bit more. |

$50 max!
$100 is way over the top for someone who you are not super close to, add to that the economy! So if $50 offends them, you probably don't want them as friends anyhow ;O |

| Assuming they are registered at Bed, BAth and beyond, get something for $50 but use a 20% off coupon. |

Ditto here, too. |

| Really, who gives $50.00 anymore? I thought $100 was the minimum gift. |
