Ah, weddings \u2013 whether you\u2019re attending in person or as a virtual guest, they\u2019re fun, romantic, tear-worthy\u2026.and (sometimes) expensive. Even when you\u2019re not the bride or groom, the cost of attending a wedding can add up. From finding the right attire to extracurriculars like engagement parties and bridal showers, wedding guests can end up spending a big chunk of change on their friends\u2019 or family\u2019s nuptials \u2013 especially if you managed to snag a coveted spot in the wedding party. So, what\u2019s the right amount to spend on a wedding gift<\/a>? And does it differ from case to case?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To start, let\u2019s admit that shopping for a wedding gift has gone through some tremendous changes in the past few decades. While many couples still opt for a gift registry, some are asking for cash gifts to support a new home investment or honeymoon, while others are forgoing gifts entirely, instead asking for charitable donations on the couple\u2019s behalf. Here are a few things to keep in mind when shopping for your next wedding gift:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Weddings are expensive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One important thing to remember when finding the right wedding present is that this simply isn\u2019t the only expense you\u2019ll incur by attending this wedding. In fact, according to a survey by NerdWallet<\/a>, 33% of Americans say they\u2019ve \u201cskipped or considered skipping a wedding because [they] couldn\u2019t afford to attend,\u201d with the highest number of millennials (41%) admitting to this financial burden. In fact, nearly 2 in 5 Americans say they typically use a credit card to cover wedding-related costs, with 1 in 10 millennials stating they borrow money from their parents to take care of expenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Keep it personal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The old adage of spending as much on a wedding gift as the couple spends per head on the wedding is simply no longer applicable (if it ever was!). Even if<\/em> you could figure out exactly how much the bride and groom spent on their guests, a wedding is not an exchange or something that needs to be reimbursed by those attending. The budget for your wedding gift should be far more dependent on your personal finances and how much you are willing to spend. You should by no means have to go into major debt so that your bestie can get the new Vitamix they have listed on their registry. Instead, we recommend spending something in the range of the \u201caverage\u201d wedding gift: $113 to $180<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Count your attendance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re bringing a date to the wedding, you\u2019re going to want to spend a little more on your wedding gift, simply because there\u2019s two of you instead of one. The bride and groom have been generous enough to host the both of you, so it only makes sense to reciprocate. The same goes for those bringing their kids to the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Think about your relationship<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Is the person getting married a close friend, or just an acquaintance? Your nearest and dearest, or an old college buddy that you maybe aren\u2019t so close with anymore? Your relationship with the bride and\/or groom is certainly valid to take into consideration when deciding how much you\u2019d like to spend on a gift. If the wedding is for someone you\u2019re super close with, take a little time in advance to budget for a gift that you know they\u2019ll love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. What about cash?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While most Americans still prefer to give traditional gifts (an average of 52% consider giving cash gifts<\/a> \u201ctacky\u201d), that doesn\u2019t mean that you can\u2019t forgo the registry for a honeymoon or cash contribution \u2013 especially if it\u2019s what the happy couple is asking for!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Anything is better than nothing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you end up not being able to make it to the wedding, decide you don\u2019t want to go, or are attending virtually, it\u2019s still good etiquette to send a gift \u2013 or at least a card. If the reason you\u2019re skipping is financial, try doing something personal like gifting a framed photo of the couple or some homemade treats. The old saying still rings true: it\u2019s the thought that counts!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
