Most people gift something at or around 30-40. But, I think we are on the lower cost of living in ca so it's still an awesome gift. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-to-gift-for-a-wedding-1#post-1087609 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 19:59:00 +0000 wheres_c 1087609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey: wanna come to a march wedding in Texas ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-to-gift-for-a-wedding-1#post-1087583 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 19:42:42 +0000 Bookish 1087583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pink Champagne: @runsyellowlites: lol, right?? The most I got was 150$ from my grandma! </p> <p>This is making me grateful that all our friends are either married or far from it, because there's no way I could afford to spend hundreds on each of them!</p> <p>The last wedding I went to I bought off-registry, and it was like 30$. Maybe I'm a cheapo, but in my area, the gifts never seem to be expensive! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-to-gift-for-a-wedding-1#post-1087572 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 19:36:21 +0000 mrsbookworm 1087572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In my area, I would do $150pp for friends or acquaintances, $250pp for close friends/family and $500pp for really close family. Weddings are expensive around here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-to-gift-for-a-wedding-1#post-1087262 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 14:41:10 +0000 runsyellowlites 1087262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Hedgehog: Same here.</p> <p>@Pink Champagne: I was thinking the same thing!!! We didn't even get gifts from the a majority of our friends/guests. :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-to-gift-for-a-wedding-1#post-1087259 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 14:38:35 +0000 CottonCandy 1087259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>same as @oliviabolivia </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-to-gift-for-a-wedding-1#post-1087214 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 13:43:02 +0000 dolphin 1087214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends on the venue but usually around $100 to $150 per person. Close friend usually $300 (me and DH). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-to-gift-for-a-wedding-1#post-1087188 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 13:33:17 +0000 Pink Champagne 1087188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>300-1000?? Who are you people, and why weren't we friends when I got married? :)<br /> We do $100 ish for local weddings, less if we have to travel and spend on flights, hotel etc.<br /> Just order her something from her registry to mail to her house- no one likes hauling wedding gifts home afterwards anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-to-gift-for-a-wedding-1#post-1087169 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 13:21:47 +0000 yellowbird 1087169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Champagne: yes! She got me some nice things from my registry! Im going to do a combo of going off what she gave and what I can afford. I wish I could give her 500-1000, but id be eating ramen noodles for a few months! Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-to-gift-for-a-wedding-1#post-1087167 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 13:19:47 +0000 BSB 1087167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In my area, I would do $150-200 for close friends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-to-gift-for-a-wedding-1#post-1087164 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 13:17:00 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 1087164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've been doing around $200. Did she go to your wedding/do you remember what she got you? I'd go off that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-to-gift-for-a-wedding-1#post-1087162 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 13:13:59 +0000 Mrs Hedgehog 1087162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Honestly, we base on on what we can afford and how close we are to the person. Family members and close friends will get more but if we can only afford $50 (which has happened) that is all they get. Usually it is in the form of a gift rather than cash money. If we can afford more though, we give more! </p> <p>I wish I could give somebody hundreds of dollars!!! That would be amazing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-to-gift-for-a-wedding-1#post-1087152 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 13:06:33 +0000 chopsuey 1087152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For friends/family our range is $300-1000. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-to-gift-for-a-wedding-1#post-1087092 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 12:22:52 +0000 sweet_p 1087092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We usually give at least $100 per person attending.

When that isn't an option, I usually aim for around a hundred </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-to-gift-for-a-wedding-1#post-1086987 Sat, 14 Sep 2013 10:59:55 +0000 Bao 1086987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We give $50 and that's normal here.

I usually buy off the registry, but I didn't have time to go out shopping this time. It's a close friend from childhood. We haven't seen each other in a couple years, but we used to be very close. I still love her to death!! I don't know what the usual gift is at all. </p>
