[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For just regular weddings where it’s not close family? $200 is fine. You’re currently likely giving the most expensive gift. Especially if you’re talking about weddings where kids are invited — those tend to be more downscale and gifts are going to average much cheaper than childless affairs in manhattan. If it’s a family wedding, the answer changes. [/quote]

$200 will definitely not be the most expensive gift in UMC families and if you are in the tri state area, it would be downright offensive. Know your audience. [/quote]

No amount of a gift is “offensive”. Not if you were raised with the least bit of manners.[/quote]

Do you know any New Yorkers?[/quote]

OP here. I’m from NYC. I believe 500 is standard for a couple.[/quote]

Then give $1000. Dc people are very cheap and 90% of them would never give $500 when it’s just the couple attending. They think $250 is perfectly fine. Of course it is, but for New Yorkers that’s more like a shower gift amount. [/quote]

That’s why DMV residents have more money than those from the New York region. They’re careful with their money. People in NY metro area are insecure & all about keeping up with Joneses. [/quote]
