[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had a nice $150K+ wedding in a high cost area in 2022 and here is what we generally received:

$200-300 from older guests or people attending single 
$300/couple average from our friends
$400/couple from higher earning friends 
$1000/couple from very close friends or family 
$5k-20K from immediate family (step-parents/parents/grandparents)

We paid for our own wedding 100% --  had no prior knowledge of any family cash gifts [/quote]

Will also add that "per plate" at our wedding across 3 days of events would have exceeded $1000 pp so almost nobody covered their plate (or were expected to). [/quote]

That was your choice to have a three day event. No one would even consider those other days. Oh, and there is no way the lowest amount you got was $200 unless it was a very small wedding with only a select few invited.  [/quote]

You're right -- some people also didn't give any gift or just gave us a card (we requested no gifts and didn't have a registry). The above amounts were were people who gave us something despite our request, probably 75% of guests still gave a cash gift. And yes, it was our choice to have a 3-day event and we in no way expected any gifts or anyone to "cover their plate" regardless. [/quote]
