How much money to put in card these days?

Hi Just wondering how much people are putting in cards going to weddings. When I got married in 2008 we mostly got 200 in a card and would have given the same. That just seems like a lot now and we can't really afford it! Going to wedding at end of month! Thanks Mx

Hiya, I would say that it varies alot from person to person. Personally, we give 200 - more if it is a family member. That's what we can afford at the moment - now if our circumstances changed I would have no problem putting less. I'm sure your company is the most important gift for the couple. HTH

I would say 150 should be ok given the current climate but I would give more if it was a very close friend or family member.

I'd say give whatever you can afford. I'd be delighted to get anything from our guests. We'd normally give €150+ depending on what we can afford, but I think €50 ot €100 is absolutely fine.

anything from 100 - 200 should be fine - think 50 would be too little for a gift from 2 people

We would give €200 if it was family or close friends and €150 to anyone else

we give 150 to neighbours work friends etc we give 200 to our circle of closest friends and cousins etc

also it totally depends on what people gave you - it would be pretty rude to give less than what was received! Yep I agree on the 150+ from 2 people

Always give 150 , unless family (300), or very close friends( 200). Would not buy a new dress /shoes rather than giving a smaller present . We save a lil extra every month so that we have it when weddings come around

we nearly always give e200, but if things were tight still wouldn't give any less than e150. would curb spending on outfit, drinks etc rather than give a smaller gift.
