The most common wedding gift amount is $150, the second $100 or $250, and the third is $20 to $1,000. Yes, this is a considerable range, but again, what you choose to spend is your choice. Many couples say the notes they receive with their gifts are what really matters, especially if said notes are truly heartfelt and genuine. Spend more time on your note to give the couple something they\u2019ll really cherish, or go with a \u201cpriceless\u201d gift such as a home-cooked meal after all the wedding craziness has died down.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re still stuck, think about your relationship with with the couple. Are they longtime friends? Relatives? People you know but aren\u2019t super-close with? How close you are or not with the people getting married absolutely influences how much you will spend. If it\u2019s a beloved friend or family member, feel free to spend a little more. If they\u2019re good friends you don\u2019t see that often but still care about, spend a little less. Wedding registries feature a wide variety of options so you can pick and choose what you want to purchase&#8230;and subsequently determine how much you\u2019re going to spend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How much you want to spend on a wedding gift is really your call.
