It depends what ethnicity and religion and class you are.

I was going to say $250 but our annual income is 200K. What one gives is dependent on what one makes.

I would give between $500-$1,000.

My favorite aunt gave me $1000. Are you close to your niece?

Are you from Ohio, Wisconsin or rural PA? Those seem like the kinds of places where people would give $100. Anything under $500 would be odd in my family and friend circles.

When I married 25 years ago, every co-corker couple gave us $100. My 5 siblings pitched in for a $125 plastic deck table/chairs (which we asked for and loved). Now we give $1,000.

It can also be money she uses for the entire first semester if her parents don’t have a lot of extra.

$1000 feels appropriate if you can afford it. If not $500.

How much money would you give to a niece for her wedding? We are very set financially, but do not want sister in law to feel she has to reciprocate equally when our children marry. Just wondering what a nice amount would be.
