I’m not sure why he thought we needed to know about it anyway. [/quote]

He (or more likely his wife) assumed you would ask your son what the Smiths gave the couple as a gift, so he was just trying to get out in front of it.

Your friends easily spent $600+ on 2 nights at an Airbnb plus Ubers and other meals. Plus gas for the 4 hour drive. And perhaps new outfits. Honestly, they might have spent upwards of $1k.

Personally, I still would have given the couple at least $200.

What do you typically give as a wedding gift, op?

My DH’s family throws expensive weddings and my MIL tells us how much to give (it’s usually $500 if we attend; $200 if we don’t). My family is more low key, and we’ve been giving everyone on my side $200.

My kids are too young to get married, but I’ll just be happy if my friends and family show up. Everyone lives in different states, and travel costs money. I also hope my kids have low key weddings. [/quote]
