[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are Indian and would do a bare minimum of $1000 for direct nieces and nephews. For other extended family (cousins, children), it varies between $250 and $500 based on relationship (and whether they paid for our hotel room stay for attending their wedding - if they paid, we would do a $500 gift).[/quote]

We're jewish and it's the same for us. Though usually the bride and groom don't pay for the hotel rooms - they reserve a block of them which gets us a discounted room. [/quote]

NP here.
Among Indians it was customary for the brides family to pay for the room and board of the groom's family. Usually because the groom's family/friends would come to the bride's house where the marriage ceremony would happen.  Nowadays, I am seeing several options - 1) bride's family pays for the room and board of the groom's party, 2) brides family pay for their side and groom family pays for groom's side, room gets reserved for a discount and individuals pay,  3)  bride's family will pay for 10-15 rooms for the grooms but the rest of the guests pay for their rooms 4) discounted hotel rooms where everyone pays for their rooms.

To the Indian poster. We also follow pretty much the same.  Another Indian poster. [/quote]
