Wedding gift advice
A few questions. My cousin is getting married june 2010 and she has a registry on Honeyfund - basically you can give them cash for their honeymoon, or they asked for vintage/eco/recycled type gifts IF you are going to get them a gift.

And a little background - my cousin basically has never worked - she has done a few internships - she's 26 - her fiance has a good job - they live in San Fran. Her parents pay for stuff like airfare, vacations, even her health insurance. I think her plan is to just never work and be a SAHM.
Anyway, the questions:
- how much should I give them? (I will do the cash on Honeyfund).
- And when should I give them their gift? I was kind of thinking before Xmas.. I have a few little things to send them - it was agreed not to do gifts this year - but maybe they would appreciate the cash so they can have it now to use towards wedding stuff?
Re: Wedding gift advice
We were registered through honeyfund and Macy's when we got married. Our honeyfund was for honeymoon extras - like, massages, snorkeling, excursions, etc. That being said, I think its a little tacky to register for straight up money, which is why we did it that way.
Our families knew that my husband to be was a bit older than me and we both already had many, many things that newly wed couples would need (we didn't need towels or pots and pans), so the honeyfund was perfect.
Most people gave $50-100 on the honeyfund registry.
I'm with Ang. I also think $50-$100 is a good amount.
