Default Re: how much do you really spend on a wedding gift?

Hmmmm, depends. I think this year we sent a $30 g.c. to friends we could not make it to their wedding. We just didn't have more in the budget. Would have given more if we had made it and eaten dinner, etc.

It just depends. People were extremely generous at our wedding and we try to give $50-$100 when we can. But only to very close friends and family. All the acquantances, we usually decline or give a token $20. Just depends.

I don't do showers - I can't think of 1 wedding shower I have ever been to except my SILs and I was a bridesmaid. I just don't *get* bridal showers overall.
