Money Gift Giving

My secretary has invited my husband and myself to her daughters wedding. We would like to give money as a wedding gift. How much is appropriate for a boss and wife to give?

I have a wedding reception my husband and I will be attending this weekend. The people are newer friends of ours who live in our apartment bldg. The wedding is at a church hall. Buffet style. What is an appropriate dollar amount to give as a gift in our card?

I would say how much can you afford? Also another way to look at it is what does the average gift cost? You could give the equilelent. I dont think there is a standard amount, just what you feel is right, they are not going to be upset at any on amount they get, it is nice of you for giving anything!

Instead of Cash you might want to get them something off their registry.

What is an appropriate amount of money to give as a wedding gift from my husband and myself. It`s for our good friends daughter and I know that the dinner is $150 a person.

Give what you can afford and what you are comfortable with giving. Often, a `standard` (and I use that term quite loosely) is based on the amount per plate of food that guests can estimate. However, that doesn`t mean you have to spend that much on a gift or give that amount of money.

I know of several people who have gone to weddings that were quite expensive events yet they didn`t have much money -- they opted to make the B&G a gift.

Again though, it all goes back to A. What you can afford and B. What you are comfortable giving.

The amount of your gift has NOTHING to do with the cost of your food at the wedding. It has everything to do with what you can afford and what you want to give.
