I spend about 2-300 each for a few gifts on both, maybe a little more on daughter because she has more wants and then give a joint check for 500.

My first read was "muggle class" - sounded like an reformed Slytherin asking for advice.

Please give what you want and can afford. The seriousness of the relationship I might pay most attention to (ie 2 months or 2 years, near engagement or new.)

The same that youre giving the son. My parents give $100. I have 4 siblings and all married so that's $1000. They pick gift cards specifically for each person.

Why give them money at all? It says spouse. So give the spouses a joint house, foo, or experience gift.
Gift card to a store you know they like. Meat or fish delivery gift. Theater tickets.
