Monitary Gift

How much to give for the bride and groom when the guest only knows the mom of the bride?
What is the apropriate amount to give the couple if you are the single mother of the groom?

You might want to try searching for an etiquette book or page. If you ask me, your gift should be what you think it should be.. What you feel would be appropriate. Consider for example giving the monetary equivelant for the type of gift you`d have purchased if you didn`t opt to give money instead. For example, $25 for a blender or maybe $100 for a place setting of fine china? from what i`ve read bride and groom are supposed to register for gifts ranging between $25-$250 to suit everyone`s budget.. So whatever you feel would be appropriate within that range.
