[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People were giving $100 back in the 90s and 2000s.  $300 per couple is good. [/quote]

I mean, it really depends.  My extended family is pretty middle class and for our wedding 8 years ago, $100 was at the upper end of what we received from each individual family (aunt/uncle/cousins). Many gave $50, some gave us something like a set of penzy spices.[/quote]

I got married in 1998 and $200 a couple was average. A cheap gift was $150 a couple. $250 was nice a couple.

Sisters and brothers and godparents $1,000 a couple and parents of couple $5,000 each

We paid wedding and thank god for the good gift givers. $150 a couple did not cover their plates in 1998. [/quote]

The cover your plates thing is pretty antiquated.  Do people really still base their gift amount on the amount of $$ the couple is spending on the wedding?  I’ve been to weddings in a barn with BBQ and weddings at a fancy resort and still give the same amount for a gift.  It’s not your guests job to Conor sate your over spending.

FWIW, the last couple weddings I attended were solo (pandemic) and I gave $150.  Not this area though.[/quote]
