[quote=Anonymous]Mostly we don't try to find out what the cost per plate is based on venue, we take an "equivalent night out" approach. So if a night of dinner, dancing, drinks and live music would cost us roughly $400 as a date, that's the baseline for the gift as a couple. Obviously more can be added if it's close family or we're in the wedding or something, but I find that with the cost of going out for a nice meal, thinking of the night as a date replacement gets you to a pretty good number already and you can let go of the resentment because someone over the age of 25 is getting a present or whatever current notion is getting people upset about wedding gifts.[/quote]
