- For a standard wedding OR a wedding that was really expensive to travel to, I give $100-150
- For a very nice black tie wedding, I give $200-$250
- ALWAYS x2 for plus one
- All in, thats probably $200-500
- If I am invited but can’t make it, I do a flat $100 from both of us
- i routinely turn down invites if I dont feel “close” because most weddings I am invited to are out of town

I am of a cultural context of “cover your plate” but am well aware for a nice wedding, $200 might not be enough to cover your plate

This sentiment is tacky no matter what your “cultural context.”

I don’t understand this thread—you have no question. You just want to shout onto the internet what you gift at weddings?

I am the OP - the question is literally in the first sentence. Fine, il add "can you" & "share how much you plan to give and any context for 2024". Thanks for not answering the question.

Usually just regift something.

$250 for important friend or family member. Less if colleague, etc.

Guessing that when you say "the norm in NY" you mean NYC/Long Island area specifically.

How does me answering the question help anyone? There must be almost countless threads on this already, some of them very recent, threads that I’m pretty sure include what I give—but you think adding “2024” makes this somehow new and relevant? New enough for you to post blah blah blah declaring yourself?

$250 for a friend if it's my wife and I (or equivalent gift)

$250 - $500 if I am in the wedding

$1,000 for my brother(s)

lol NP but just move along already, dude. I’m interested in the topic, and clearly others are too.

We do $150 each, more or less

We are pretty wealthy. We usually give as much as we feel that we can give without being garish.

So how much are you giving these days or plan to give in 2024?

[Anonymous]

3,000 to my niece

[Anonymous]

I give $18 for essentially every gift.

[Anonymous]

$250 for a friend or extended family member. $500 for a niece or nephew. That assumes we're going to the wedding. If we don't attend I would say more like a $50 item off the registry.
