Say $100-150 vs $200-250 for a local wedding. I'd say $300-$350 for local wedding with two people and bump that down if you're traveling and staying in a hotel. Can go higher for very close friends or family or lower if your income doesn't support gifting like that.
Relationship to the Couple: If you are close friends or family, $300 is generally considered a generous gift. For acquaintances or co-workers, it might be on the higher end.
Here are some general guidelines: Close Friends or Family: $100 to $200 is often considered a reasonable range. Acquaintances or Co-workers: $50 to $100 is typically acceptable. Group Gifts: If you're contributing as part of a group, $20 to $50 can be sufficient.
Should you wish to honor us with a gift, a contribution towards our future together would be sincerely appreciated. As we embark on this incredible journey together, your love and support mean the world to us. If you'd like to contribute to our dreams, a monetary gift would be cherished as we build our life together.
