You’re Not Super Close With Them But You Need to Give Something
$75-$150
Your finances are in order & you’re going to the wedding but you’re not BFF with the couple. So, stick in this range & send something off the registry.
Remember — Wedding gifts are meant to celebrate the couple- not leave you with credit card bills and stress. Whatever you can do, it will be loved and appreciated by the couple.
As a general rule of thumb, I love following the 20-20-60 rule.
Start by creating an overall gift budget to celebrate the wedded couple to be. I’ll start with $200 as an example. Sixty percent of that budget ($120) should be reserved for the wedding gift, twenty percent ($40) should be reserved for the engagement party, and the other twenty percent ($40), for the shower. If you are only invited to one pre-wedding event, divide that extra twenty percent between the shower ($50) and the wedding ($130).
