$100 is always a safe bet. If your bond is tight, $250 - $500 sounds right. If you can afford it, $1k is always a welcome site to the bride and groom. We were blown away by the generosity of a few friends/family members.
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.
Examples: Best wishes! We're/I'm so happy for you! Wishing you lots of love and happiness. Wishing you a long and happy marriage. Wishing you the best today and always. So happy to celebrate this day with you both! Best wishes for a fun-filled future together. Wishing you fulfillment of every dream!

Key Takeaways Always use the couple's full, legal names when writing a wedding check. You can make out the the check to one person or both. If you're writing a wedding check to the couple, separate their names with "or" instead of "and."
I always put the name of the person I know on it. For example if it's Joe and Deb's wedding and I know Joe better, I write the check to Joe Smith and then in the Memo line Congrats on your wedding Deb and Joe.
Instead make the check out as ``John Smith OR Jane Doe''. ing to the state and their bank, both these people exist at the time of the reception (when gifts are given) and depositing them in the bank isn't a problem. Either party can endorse and deposit the check, since the word ``OR'' is used.

I always write checks for the wedding as ``Anna (Maiden Name) OR John (Surname)'' -- the OR allows either party to deposit it into whatever account they want, and doesn't require both their signatures like an AND would.
