how much money should i give a newlywed couple?

It depends on several factors, such as where you live (what's considered normal for cost of living), how close you are to the couple, whether you gave a shower gift, how much you can afford, etc. When I got married, we did not register for gifts so most of our guests gave us money. Some gave $20, some gave $50, some gave $100. We live in an area with a low cost of living and a really bad economy, so I was surprised and grateful that we got anything at all from some of the guests! I fully expected to get a lot less considering the circumstances of many of our close friends and family. Whatever amount you think is appropriate will be fine. Good luck and have fun at the wedding!

You should give as much as you can afford

For a single person you should not give less than 25 dollars for a wedding gift

For a couple you should not give less then 50 dollars for a wedding gift

If you could afford it

50 dollars per person is a good amount if you could afford it

It's a safe amount to give for friends and non close family

You could give as much as you choice to give

200 dollars like the person above, if you want

I've been to two weddings recently, a close friend and a work colleague. I gave my friend $200 and I gave my work colleague $100. I live in San Francisco and I make almost $100k a year, so that figures into what I'm able to give. If I lived somewhere else and made less money, I'd probably give less. It just depends!

Depends on a wedding, I guess Sunday weddings are usually cheaper so I would bring around $75 per person. If a wedding has an open bar and an extravagant menu, I bring $100 per person. For a close friend or a relative I bring $150 per person.

I don't think it is appropriate to give less then $75 per person at a wedding

A friend or distant relative - about $100-$150

A close family member - about $150-$250

Though it will vary based on location, culture, and family's socio-economic situation. On one side, we had a few people give us $20 with the rest of the family giving us nothing (even when they attended). On the other side, everyone gave us $150 - $500, even if they didn't attend. All of our friends were around $100.

It depends on how well you know the couple and how much you're able to afford. If you have the money and know that the couple is struggling, I would give more. But if the couple is stable financially, still give a gift but it doesn't need to be as extravagant or expensive

You should only give what you can afford *without* incurring debt.

Money in the form of a check is best. Cash and gift cards have a mysterious way of getting separated from the card, if you know what I mean.

Wedding receptions and honeymoons are expensive. Money will come in extreeeeeeemely handy.

Since you are going with your boyfriend, a gift of $75 would be very acceptable. Honestly though, in my opinion, since you are his guest at the event, he should be writing out the check.

Depends on how well you know them and what you can afford. Don't feel like you have to give them $500. If you can only write a check for $100 then so be it.

Your boyfriend should be giving the $$ NOT you, it is his relatives not yours and you have not even met them yet. think twice and have you boyfriend pick up the gift expense.
