Advice on giving money for a Wedding Present

[Beachman]

I just wanted to thank everyone for their honest feedback. One of the things I love about this site is the friendly feedback as everyone was so polite in letting me know I was being a tight arse. So the figure will be increased.

Just spoke to the Wife and I'm starting to think that $100+ for a present is going to be the cheap part of the day as the Wife just informed me she bought a new dress, shoes plus she getting her hair done Saturday morning

Is it a given that you have to go? I mean, it is only a wedding, its not like some one died.

Just send the wife and only give 'em $50.00. Problem solved.

Asking for cash at a wedding is nothing new, we did it for our wedding over 10 years ago. The fact we'd been living together for many many years before getting married meant any present people were likely to buy us we already had, so we pooled all the money together from our friends and family and bought a old style decorative combustion stove fire place for our house, and also had it installed with that money. We let everyone know what they bought us and how much we appreciated thier present.

My rule of thumb for most special pressies is $50 for most occasions,  so $100 a wedding (2 people).

It is nice to know what the $$$ are going towards.  I've heard of people setting up a voucher  arrangement at travel agents and you  put in whatever your feel appropriate.

Went to a wedding recently where they asked for money in envelope anonymously which saved some people any embarrassment but the money raised helped the young couple to go on a honeymoon they will never forget and may never be able to afford otherwise.  Money in envelopes ranged from $10 to $100 so win win all round.
