Re: What\'s a good $$ donation for a wedding gift?
depends on the general financial situation of others, too. i went to a wedding with some young friends - they got married while still in grad school. most everyone there is a student and is kinda broke. i got them a some nice knives (they weren't registered anywhere) - spent like 100 bucks and it was twice the price of anything else our friends got them. felt a little weird.

Re: What\'s a good $$ donation for a wedding gift?
A pretty good rule of thumb,especially if bringing someone, is how much would you spend on a nice date? Give at least that, unless the wedding is the equivalent of a kegger.

Re: What\'s a good $$ donation for a wedding gift?
Generally the gift should approximately equal the amount per head of each wedding guest. If it's a super nice wedding (not absurdly super nice), then $100-250 per person (you and gf, or whatever).
If it was me by myself, I'd say $150 min, and I'd probably do $250.

Re: What\'s a good $$ donation for a wedding gift?
My usual rule of thumb is $100 if I am not in the wedding party - $150 if I am bringing a date.
If I am in the wedding party, I double both of the above amounts.

I feel like if you're in the wedding party, you are very close with the bride/groom so the gift should reflect that. The $100-$200 tux rental is offset by the gift you would get from the groom for being in the wedding party.
