Tbh I think whatever you are financially able to do. Should the gift cover the cost of your meal? Yes, absolutely. But anything above that is just what you are willing and/or able to give. I’d understand if I got a card with a $20 in it bc people struggle with money, especially nowadays

20 years ago it was $100 per couple -I think it should be more now

200

The cost of your plate usually $150+

In my culture it’s $100 per person attending. Ie a family of 5 would be $500

I don’t want to be invited to a wedding. Was once belittled when I cannot afford to give someone more than what they expected. When I got married, I didn’t expect my invitees to give us anything. We invited them because we want them to be part of our special day and was grateful for their presence. Nowadays, people tends to think they can get back what they spent on their wedding. But after all my rambling lol, the cost per plate is best to give as a monetary wedding gift.

no one gave us any money lol

What’s your culture? In mine we give between 300-400 is single $500-1000 if couples.

What you can afford.

$100. That’s what we give our grandchildren when they get married.
