appropriate wedding gift cost
According to the American Express survey, the average wedding gift is $144 for a family member and $97 for a close friend. More affluent wedding guests give an average wedding gift worth $251 for any wedding they attend, while co-workers come in at the low end of the scale at an average of $66. Not only is the cost of a wedding soaring — couples spent an average of $30,000 in 2013, according to TheKnot.com, up from $28,000 the year before and the highest level since 2008 — but wedding guests are spending more than ever, as well. The majority of wedding guests who are friends of the bride and groom spent less than $100 for a gift, according to a 2010 survey by TheKnot.com. Relatives shelled out an average of $146 on wedding gifts and were twice as likely to spend more than $100 compared with friends of the couple. A wedding gift of $250 to $300 for the upscale wedding is in the correct range, while perhaps $100 works for the less formal wedding. The exception would be a destination wedding which requires hefty travel expenses and hotel accommodations you have to pay. A wedding gift of $250 to $300 for the upscale wedding is in the correct range, while perhaps $100 works for the less formal wedding. We had about 100 guests at our wedding and I would say the average gift we received was between $100 and $150 (closer family and friends gave more). For weddings we’ve attended we give at $100 (generally if one of us was in the wedding)or more depending on how close we are to the couple. I agree that your gift should not depend on how much it cost the couple. We had about 100 guests at our wedding and I would say the average gift we received was between $100 and $150 (closer family and friends gave more). The average wedding gift for a family member is around $150 per person – so something in the order of $200 – $400 for the both of you would be reasonable – depending on the venue and style of the wedding. As much as you can affored ,if you have the money you must give at the very least $300 to cover you dish and the gift. the wedding party cost about $100 a plate or more depen … ding on size and expense of course, then again if you cannot afford to give alot then don't. I can share that the average amount spent on a wedding gift in 2014 through RegistryFinder.com was $120. If you choose to buy from the couple's wedding registry, we recommend purchasing early, so you have the best selection of gifts and price ranges.
