[quote=Anonymous]OP, don't stress over the gift to the point that you can't enjoy the wedding and participate in your cousin's happiness. As someone else noted, the "expected" thing is all over the map (and I've read repeatedly inss Manners-type articles etc. that the whole "you need to cover the cost of your 'plate'" is a load of nonsense and couples who tell guests that are rude).

The most memorable gift we got was from a friend who was a young, single person with what I knew was a very tight income. She gave us a Monty Python movie and a simple chip and dip dish--total cost was maybe $40 at that time (though I never thought about the cost of that gift until just now).  She wrote something very funny and spot-on in the card about how this was for our many nights in, from now on.

It showed that she had thought through what would be fun and interesting for us, and she had considered our tastes and sense of humor. We really appreciated it and we still do, many years later.

Choose something that really reflects the couple and it will not matter what the price tag was.[/quote]
