ok, my turn - Wedding gift - WWYD?

So we leave this weekend for the wedding in Hawaii where I am the MOH & the kiddo is the RB.

The couple did not register at a store, so we were thinking of giving cash. ?If I go this route, how much do you think is good?

My CW told me that since we are flying out on our expense for their destination wedding, then the couple shouldn't expect a gift from us

I don't know..i'm so confused!?

One of the gifts I gave her at the shower was a wedding frame - so that option is out.

Help!?

Re: ok, my turn - Wedding gift - WWYD?

  • I am sure a newlywed would appreciate cash.  You don't have to worry about packing it either.  Just give what you can afford or comfortable giving.
  • Cash is always an option and since there are 3 of you going (not sure if you're taking the little one but Im guessing he's not having a meal), I'd probably say $75-100?
  • I had a lot of out of towners at my wedding and some of them did not bring a gift.  I figured that their presence and the fact they had spend hundreds on a ticket/hotel stay was enough.  If you do give them cash they would probably appreciate any amount.

    Crotchless panties it is! :)

    (and sorry but I wouldn't have a clue to know how much to give. I am not a fan of gift cards and cash)

  • I would just give them cash in whatever amount you are comfortable giving, even if it's only $20.00.

  • Cash at the wedding was really helpful for us in getting our house and stuff we needed that we didn't get as gifts etc., so cash is always a nice gift at a wedding I think. That being said, those who traveled to our wedding some didn't give gifts and I didn't think anything of it because they paid to travel to the wedding. If you really want to give something, $50-$100 I think would be reasonable, or whatever you think you can afford, even if it's $20, like Robyn said.
