[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]

I’m going to assume these venues charge $200-300 per head.

It has been a decade since we got married. We didn’t have families since we were one of the firsts to get married. I guess there hasn’t been much inflation on wedding gifts.[/quote]

You don't gift based on head price at the venue. [/quote] DC born and raised here. Got married in the 90s. Old Washington types did not give cash gifts.  My feeling to this day is that you throw the wedding you can afford and you do not rely on your guests to pay for it. I live in NYC now. Average gift from me is $200. More for close family but certainly not $1000....[/quote]
