Wondering how much dough you need to shell out for the wedding you\u2019ve been invited to is a time-honored question. Many factors contribute to how much money you should give as a gift, and there\u2019s quite literally \u201can app for that,\u201d such as The Wedding Envelope Gift Calculator. Gift calculator apps are quite handy in determining how much you should spend!<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s review a few factors that contribute to amount you\u2019re writing the check for:<\/p>\n

Salary Range<\/p>\n

Your salary obviously plays a huge part in how much money you\u2019re giving the bride and groom. If you\u2019re low on funds, no one is going to expect you to write an extravagant check. Paying what you can is just fine–what\u2019s more important is that you\u2019re making a contribution!<\/p>\n

Relationship With The Bride And Groom<\/p>\n

The relationship you have with the bride and groom is another significant factor. For example, if the bride is one of your lifelong friends, you\u2019re going to spend a little more. If the couple are friends of friends and you\u2019re surprised you were invited, you\u2019re going to spend a little less. Your relationship with couple is key in determining the correct amount.<\/p>\n

First, Second, Third, Etc. Wedding<\/p>\n

Is it the first marriage for the bride and groom, or the third? First-time newlyweds generally need more money to \u201cget started\u201d than those who have already been around the marriage block. Such people have many of the items they need to begin a new life together, which allows you to shave a few dollars off the monetary sum.<\/p>\n

Travel Distance<\/p>\n

How far you\u2019re traveling for the wedding is extremely significant as well. For example, are you driving eight hours to get to the venue? Flying across the country or to another country? The more you\u2019re paying to attend the wedding, the less you have to give as a gift.<\/p>\n

Keep these factors in mind, and don\u2019t overspend!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
