[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Assuming you are giving a cash gift, share how much you plan to give and any context for 2024. No, I’m not asking what you gave ten years ago!

- For a standard wedding OR a wedding that was really expensive to travel to, I give $100-150
- For a very nice black tie wedding, I give $200-$250
- ALWAYS x2 for plus one
- All in, thats probably $200-500
- If I am invited but can’t make it, I do a flat $100 from both of us
- i routinely turn down invites if I dont feel “close” because most weddings I am invited to are out of town

I am of a cultural context of “cover your plate” but am well aware for a nice wedding, $200 might not be enough to cover your plate[/quote]

You are being cheap with the $100 for can’t make it if a closer relative. And if a closer person like a niece you are close with and a nice place $1,000 is better.

BTW on Long Island, NYC and NY suburbs of NJ where gifts are higher I got those amounts above in 1996 from 1/2 the guests. [/quote]
