[quote=Anonymous]OP here:

answer to question of what he got us for our wedding: $50 cash, as best we can recall. I should have included that in the original post, I suppose.

So, part of me immediately thinks we should also get them a $50 gift although as our peer group gets older and more established as adults, it seems that people tend to spend more on wedding gifts than they did 5 years ago when we were married and all our friends were 25-ish.

To the PP who gave $2500, we are not in the same universe in our thoughts on wedding spending. My husband and I spent 10k on our entire wedding, to give you a little perspective. We are from upper middle class families, we just didn't want to spend a ridiculous amount on our wedding. If anyone other than our parents or grandparents had given us a gift that large, I would have been absolutely astounded.

We are comfortable (financially speaking) spending several hundred dollars on a gift but I don't know that I want to spend that much $$ considering the travel costs, etc.[/quote]
