    I'd say about $50. It really depends on your own financial situation. for example, if you're a waitress scraping by on tips, then $50 is a lot, but if you're a Doctor, it's nothing.

    It's usual to give approxomately the cost of your dinner and if drinks are included, then a bit extra. basically, u don't want your attendance to cost the couple money.

    The rule of thumb that I follow for all weddings I attend is to (at least) give them what I think they paid per plate. From there I also take into account the relationship I have with the couple. If there are friends, I stick to the $ per plate rule. If they are family, I will add a little bit more.

    A reception in a nice banquet hall might be around $80 pp, so for a cousin I might go for about $100. For a sibling, probably $150.

    I'm attending a backyard wedding later this month - my fiance's cousin is getting married. I am attending with my fiance. We are both putting $50 into the card for a total of $100 from the both of us.

    But you should give what you can afford. You may only be able to afford $20 or you may have a great job and be able to give $100.

    Just give what you can. If it's $50, fine. If it's $10, fine. It doesn't matter what kind of wedding it is, people should never give more than they can do so comfortably.
