Both!

I would spend more on intermediate family and close friends than on mere acquaintances.

However, it does depend where I stand financially at the time of the wedding if I am doing well, or if I became a sahm, lost of job and such. Life is one big rollercoaster ride so it just depends.

I also do not share intimate financial details with family and friends so my advice is not to judge the gifts anyone brings because you may not know what really is going on inside of their life when everything appears dandy.
