When you are invited to a wedding, one of the first questions that probably comes to mind probably involves how much money you should spend on wedding gifts for the happy couple. You may also be thinking about your budget and terrified at the idea of spending a significant chunk of your income on all the different wedding events - the engagement party, the shower, and the wedding itself. It is important that you fully understand that the only wedding event that requires a gift is the shower - everything else is up to you.
There are two main options when shopping for a happy couple - the wedding registry or cash. However, this is not to say that you cannot provide a gift that the couple has not registered for. Depending on the couple and their current status in life, a gift may be more preferable to cash. If you are not sure, always ask their parents or someone in the wedding party. Once you have decided which type of gift to bestow, you need to think about how much to spend.
When considering a wedding gift for any couple, you need to think about many different factors which include how well you know the couple, whether or not you will be spending money on transportation and lodging, social conventions within your family and friends, and your personal finances. First and foremost, think about your personal finances and come up with an amount that you will feel comfortable spending. When you are calculating this amount, consider the shower, engagement party, and the wedding itself. Typically, the closer you are to the couple, the more you should gift. However, if you are travelling a great distance to attend the wedding, you can be expected to spend a little less.
