[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mid 30s UMC here — I am gifting $400/couple for most weddings and $1000/couple for close friends and family. For friends who have requested “no gifts” and have no registry we are surprising them with something for their honeymoon (like dinner or spa treatments at their destination)[/quote] You are very generous. How did you come up with these amounts?[/quote] This is based on the higher end of what we were gifted for our wedding a few years ago by friends / family in similar situations. And 10 years ago in our 20s, we were gifting $200/couple and both costs and our finances have increased significantly since then. Generally our friends are also having nice weddings as they get older so I’m pretty certain we’re not coming anywhere close to covering our plates even at these costs. For example, our guests cost us $1000 pp for just food and alcohol for a weekend wedding (multiple events). [/quote]
