One couple gave us $50 and another couple gave us $1k. :) Either way we were just happy they were able to celebrate with us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyers-how-much-to-gift-a-friend-who-is-having-a-wedding-in-the-city#post-177441 Sun, 03 Jun 2012 13:53:31 +0000 regberadaisy 177441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I go by venue but min of $200. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyers-how-much-to-gift-a-friend-who-is-having-a-wedding-in-the-city#post-177258 Sun, 03 Jun 2012 03:37:30 +0000 looch 177258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't lived in NYC since 2004 and the US since 2008, but my rule of thumb is $150 per person. I lived in the NYC metro area. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyers-how-much-to-gift-a-friend-who-is-having-a-wedding-in-the-city#post-177218 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 22:15:25 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 177218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Holy crap! This is crazy!</p> <p>I live in the Seattle area and there were only 5 people at our wedding who gave us more than $100. And we had 240 guests! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyers-how-much-to-gift-a-friend-who-is-having-a-wedding-in-the-city#post-177213 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 21:57:47 +0000 SleepyMonkey 177213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In NYC, I think $200 min is the right amount. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyers-how-much-to-gift-a-friend-who-is-having-a-wedding-in-the-city#post-177181 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 21:09:55 +0000 mrsjyw 177181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>$150 min. pp </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyers-how-much-to-gift-a-friend-who-is-having-a-wedding-in-the-city#post-177001 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 14:01:21 +0000 Mrs. Bee 177001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends how close I am but usually min of 200. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyers-how-much-to-gift-a-friend-who-is-having-a-wedding-in-the-city#post-176991 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 13:07:22 +0000 mrsjazz 176991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We give $100-$200 depending on the couple. I should also say that although I've been to quite a few NYC weddings, none of them were the "average" NYC wedding and were all well below those costs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyers-how-much-to-gift-a-friend-who-is-having-a-wedding-in-the-city#post-176988 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 13:03:11 +0000 BSB 176988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We give between 100-150 and more if we are close. I've never been to a NYC wedding, I think I would decline because I don't think I could afford the gift. I would feel bad if I gave my usual amount. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyers-how-much-to-gift-a-friend-who-is-having-a-wedding-in-the-city#post-176901 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 09:45:13 +0000 heffalump 176901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always go more by what I can afford than what the norm is. I'm not willing to go broke on someone's gift, and I hope they understand that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyers-how-much-to-gift-a-friend-who-is-having-a-wedding-in-the-city#post-176868 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 08:45:47 +0000 Foodnerd81 176868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would usually do 100-150 per person. For a wedding in NYC I'd probably give 250, but if you aren't super close I don't think 200 is really cheap either.<br /> At our wedding in New England, the most common amounts were 200 or 250 per couple. BUT, I did not think anything of people who gave less!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyers-how-much-to-gift-a-friend-who-is-having-a-wedding-in-the-city#post-176803 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 05:28:50 +0000 Andrea 176803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think $150-200 pp is good. Probably $150 if you are not close. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyers-how-much-to-gift-a-friend-who-is-having-a-wedding-in-the-city#post-176787 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 00:45:20 +0000 Trailmix 176787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We live in NYC and have always given $150 as a couple (and never thought that was cheap of us, ha!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyers-how-much-to-gift-a-friend-who-is-having-a-wedding-in-the-city#post-176786 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 00:41:38 +0000 tequiero21 176786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BoogieBea: dang, that probably sounds about right too. thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyers-how-much-to-gift-a-friend-who-is-having-a-wedding-in-the-city#post-176782 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 00:35:49 +0000 BoogieBea 176782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's been a while since I've gone to a wedding but I used to give 150 pp. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyers-how-much-to-gift-a-friend-who-is-having-a-wedding-in-the-city#post-176777 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 00:26:58 +0000 tequiero21 176777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the "standard" was $100pp for a wedding at a venue. has it changed? going to a wedding next week and planning to give $200 but hoping it's not too "cheap"... we're not close friends but i've known him for a long time. he came to my wedding and i don't even remember what he gave, but i had a church wedding so.... plus, not sure if we're supposed to give more because it's in manhattan.... </p>
