How much do you give as a monetary gift when you attend weddings? How much is appropriate if you don't have money? Is $50.00 too cheap?


My ex left me in major debt and I make little money. I can't really afford anything but

Thanks everyone for the ideas!


The meals cost around 75.00 at this banqet hall. Should I consider that or is that irrelevant?

You must be close to the couple if you know this information, so as I said before go have a good time and remember obviously they did not base their guest list on who could give the best gifts.

The cost of the wedding is the choice of the bride and groom and their families and should have no bearing on your gift decisions.
