We try to keep wedding gifts at a low cost. Sadly, the gift kind of depends on how far we traveled for the wedding. If it is a local wedding, we can usually afford $50-75. But if we have to pay travel expenses, we can't afford as much. We are heading to a wedding memorial weekend and I spent $1 of my own money on the gift. I pulled their registry from Target, then price matched it at Sears and used a leftover Sears giftcard that we had got from cashing in credit card rewards for our freezer.
For all other occasions, I try very hard not to spend more than $5. But, I usually give a gift that has a value of $10-20.
