    There isn't an amount that you are expected to give. The amount you give should be based on the relationship and your budget. No guest is required to give an amount equal to their plate. What the couple spends on their reception is their choice and is their "thank you" to their guests for attending the wedding.

    25-50 seems more than fair.you don't cover the cost of your plate or drinks either - what the couple chose to spend is their choice,not yours.a reception isn't to be broken even on
