We all have more money now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cash-gift-for-a-wedding#post-1218345 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 08:32:00 +0000 sorrycharlie 1218345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: haha i did too!</p> <p>I match. honestly, if someone gets offended by our gift they are more than welcome to confront us. we are barely surviving at home right now, so I'm not really worried about gifting haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cash-gift-for-a-wedding#post-1218342 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 08:30:01 +0000 Alivoo01 1218342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: Same here!</p> <p>We give just a tad bit more than what we received. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cash-gift-for-a-wedding#post-1217160 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 19:24:11 +0000 QueensBee 1217160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: So organized!! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cash-gift-for-a-wedding#post-1217140 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 19:18:01 +0000 leelee 1217140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We usually match. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cash-gift-for-a-wedding#post-1217136 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 19:15:34 +0000 autumnlove 1217136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@QueensBee: I kept a spreadsheet for my thank you cards! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cash-gift-for-a-wedding#post-1217131 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 19:13:56 +0000 QueensBee 1217131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never wrote down how much people gave us so I honestly don't remember exact numbers. We usually decide how much to give on a case-by-case basis by considering the following questions. </p> <p>How much money do we have to give at the moment? Is it a destination wedding that requires a lot of money for flights and hotels? How close are we to the couple? We also factor in how fancy the venue is too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cash-gift-for-a-wedding#post-1217121 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 19:10:21 +0000 JerricaBenton 1217121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends. We tend to be more generous so we generally give more. If someone was super generous with us we match! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cash-gift-for-a-wedding#post-1217051 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 18:54:17 +0000 Andrea 1217051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually more </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cash-gift-for-a-wedding#post-1216991 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 18:41:53 +0000 chopsuey 1216991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We usually give more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cash-gift-for-a-wedding#post-1216984 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 18:40:00 +0000 HabesBabe 1216984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Match, unless the original gift came from a super baller and it would be too much for us to give. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cash-gift-for-a-wedding#post-1216889 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 18:01:59 +0000 LindsayInNY 1216889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We match what we were given, within reason. Usually it's only adjusted if we have to travel for their wedding and the extent to which we have to travel (cross country, just a hotel night, etc.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cash-gift-for-a-wedding#post-1216855 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 17:51:38 +0000 shinymama 1216855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a standard amount, but it can go up {close family/swanky wedding} or down {cheapos/distant relative}. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cash-gift-for-a-wedding#post-1216850 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 17:49:40 +0000 swedishfish 1216850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Match! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cash-gift-for-a-wedding#post-1216846 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 17:49:03 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1216846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We usually don't give less than $100 for any weddings unless we can't make it. So we do a standard amount (more for close friends) regardless of what they gave us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cash-gift-for-a-wedding#post-1216842 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 17:47:49 +0000 regberadaisy 1216842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hm. Depends. I also take into consideration the location. But in Asian wedding I always match. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cash-gift-for-a-wedding#post-1216831 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 17:44:23 +0000 autumnlove 1216831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you match or give more?</p> <p>I'll just use $50 as an example. We got married 2 years ago and a friend gave us $50. We also want to give them cash for their wedding this weekend...do you usually give the same amount or more? </p>
