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.
A $50 wedding gift is generally considered acceptable and thoughtful, especially if you are a friend or a colleague of the couple. The amount you choose to give can depend on various factors, including your relationship with the couple, your budget, and regional customs.
A $200 wedding gift is a generous and thoughtful gesture. It's often considered a substantial amount, but the appropriateness can depend on your relationship with the couple and local customs.
$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.

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.

Baseline Calculation As a baseline for determining the wedding gift amount, I suggest using the following formula: Gross Pre-Tax Annual Income / $1000 and rounded up or down to the nearest $25. Also, I'd suggest limiting the wedding gift to $1000 or under unless it's your own child getting married.
