Exactly. Your gift should reflect YOUR budget and financial situation, not that of the bride and groom. If you can only afford $10, give $10. If you can afford $100, give $100. We base our gifts partially on how close we are to the couple getting married. Distant family gets less than close family and friends. We don't care if the wedding is being held in the backyard or in the ritziest place in town.
