Man I wish I knew you when I had my wedding.lol Up north its at least you cover your meal but in the south its a different mindset. When I had my wedding the difference in gifts from the southerners vs the northerners was dramatic.

i would say 200 is about right

dont give him money

i suggest that you give him a very use full things like small appliances :):):)

we usually get them something on a gift registry that they setup. If not, a small amount of cash usually because weddings here aren't that pricey where they need to be getting a ton of money.

well, id say minimum $100 if its a real close friend than $200

cash is fine for the couple to get started...$200 for a close friend is a good deal or either give him an appliance which will be very useful for a newly wed couple

cash amounting of 200-300 is fine. but if you still have a time, buy them things that they can use especially now that they are starting to have a family.

Around here they give an average of 75$/person (average wage is like 2500$/month). I normally give 150$/person depending who it is...

Some of you guys sound like you have no idea of the rules of civilized society, LOL. Cash is king: $100-$200 per person is a minimum per guest appropriate for a young couples wedding, more if you are older, or higher earning people.

Lol, that's a good idea....

No need for money, better give a gift that both can use..

i gave 250 euros to a friend and 600 euros to someone from family :)

I would say no less than $100

I don't give cash for a wedding but things that may help them for their married life.

Find out where they are having the reception and ask how much it cost per guest.

Then add a little more on top.

LMFAO! indeed. i toast to that one.

Usually around $100 if they want cash or what ever is left on the registry if they want a gift. I've given more at times but 100 is about average.

just last week I got my sister a fridge, stove and dishwasher.. and probably about 200 bucks..
