I'D SAY MOST PEOPLE GIVE $50.00-$100.00 ON AVERAGE..BUT MOSTLY IT'S WHATEVER YOU CAN AFFORD TO GIVE...I THINK THE BRIDE AND GROOM ARE PROBABLY JUST HAPPY YOU SHOWED UP AT THE WEDDING SO ANY GIFT WILL MAKE THEM FEEL BLESSED I'M SURE...IT'S ALWAYS THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTS ANYWAYS...

You can if you want to.  A lot of brides do.  I'm getting married in a few weeks and we decided not to exchange gifts just because we don't have the extra money, plus we decided to buy a dog after the wedding.

I have never worried to much about the cost.  I like to make something or get something that I know she/they will really like.  There are many things that you can make that will look expensive and with the time involved show how much you care without spending a fortune.\n\nIf you are crafty you could start a scrapbook for her. I have done this for a couple of friends and they loved it. I have also decorated the front of a photo album and used the invitation on the cover. You could find a really nice one or have one made out of fabric, lace, etc. I'm sure she will have a ton of pictures to fill it with.\n\nDecorated a basket (bought at a second hand store) filled with Hershey kisses and hugs, bottle of cheap wine and glasses (could even be second hand) or strawberry's etc. put it in their vehicle or room for their wedding night.\n\nYou could also make a towel cake with things from her registry and fill it with as much or as little as you want depending on your budget. http://www.thinkwedding.com/art-wedding_...

Depends on your relationship with the person graduating and in part where you are in your life financially.  \n\nIf you are a student yourself these guidelines work.\nIf it is a relative or your best friend, $50 is a nice gift.  If it is someone you are not as close to, $25 is totally acceptable.\n\nIf you are older, out in the work force and have the means you can certainly give more if you can afford it.

It's actually very tacky to ask for money.  It isn't necessary to have a big expensive extravaganza wedding.  If the couple cannot afford a large wedding, neither they nor any relatives should be forced to go into debt to provide one.  If either set of parents wish to contribute, that's fine, but the couple shouldn't be asking for a handout.

A million and one good wishes. A gift is not required but if you want to give these people a present, put a little thought into it and shop for something you believe will please them. Cash and gift cards are tacky, especially for such a major milestone.

Wow, beyond what you have already listed, I can't think of anything really. How about buying each other a gift on eBay (limit how much spent) with the idea that you want to send them something they think the other would truly love.\n\nHow about a mutual blog in planning the wedding? That way when the date is close, you can break out your list with all the flower type, colors, location etc. all ready.

most people give money. but if its for a close friend that you've known for a while, you could always make a memory type thing. you know, cut out old photos of you guys together throughout the years and write stuff with it. adn then give some money too :)

I had a large wedding party: Matron of Honor, (2) Maids of Honor, Jr. Bridesmaid , 6 Bridesmaids, 2 flower girls...\nThey all received jewelry :earrings and simple bracelet w/ heart for all over 15 years of age. The younger 3 girls received a charm bracelet. It was not that expensive.... (I did receive a great discount by purchasing from same merchant where we purchased our wedding bands )it was about $45.oo per girl and bracelets were $20 or $25.(with tax about $5oo.oo  That was almost 20 years ago.)\nYou can do so much without spending alot of money...it doesn't have to be something "materialistic"...it could just be a day of "Fun" ...a day at a "Spa"...and this can be done at your place.\nThere are so many fun ideas out there.... do some searching on the web or if you have a wedding planner ask her, she would be more than happy to present you with some ideas.\nIf you are on a tight budget...there isn't a rule / law that says you "have" to purchase a gift...since it is your special day and they are your special friends..maybe have your photographer (or a someone else) take pictures of you with your bridesmaids throughout the day of your wedding ( don't forget one with your new husband) , have copies made..and make a photo album for girl with a personal "Thank-You".\nCongrats...may you have many years of happiness together.

Gift certificate sounds good or just give her money.  I also like the idea of buying her a cd of her fav artist or a nice outfit or shoes she might like.

I always give $75 or $100 depending on how well I know the person.  But if you haven't seen him for 7 years, less might be appropriate - say $50?.  Are you invited to the wedding?  If not, no need to send anything but a card.  If you're only invited to the reception, maybe $25?  The online registry answer is a good idea.

I never give money for a Sacrament celebration. I always give a religious gift suited to the occasion. \n\nI make rosaries, so it is generally a rosary I have designed WITH the recipient.\n\nFor Confirmation, a prayer book or Bible is very appropriate. They'll spend the money next week. I still have and use the Bible my sponsor gave me on my Confirmation- and I think of her every time I open it.\n\nSacraments are not about the party and the money! They are about a personal encounter with Jesus Christ!

To directly ask for cash is in very poor taste.   The best way you could handle this is when you send out your invitations or requests to attend your wedding.   Make a note in it that you only want "Best Wishes"  and that you have everything you need.\nMost people will understand, but you have to prepare yourself that some may not give you anything.  Usually a Best Wishes is your way of saying you don't need any material items.  And most people understand they want to give you something.  So you may end up with gift certificates or cash or nothing.   Do the right thing and accept whatever you recieve graciously and send a thank you note right away.

I'm sure there are going to be answers from people who think that gift cards are not "personal" and therefore inappropriate gifts for weddings (or other occasions for that matter), but I have a different opinion.  When I got married, I received actual "gifts" from everyone and many of them have gone unused to this day. I personally would LOVE to get gift cards so I could use them to furnish my house or buy things that matched my tastes and needs instead of someone else's. I don't think gift cards are any less personal or that the person giving them didn't want to take the time to go shopping - I feel as if they are being more generous in letting me pick out what I need.  \n\nAnd it depends on the person getting married, too - if they are older and already have a house, then perhaps gift cards to restaurants or something else would be appropriate. If they are younger and have never had a house, then gift cards to home stores would be better used as they will probably need more household items.

ANYWHERE FROM $100.00 TO $1000.00.\nBUT REMEMBER IT'S NOT THE AMOUNT IT'S THE THOUGHT.

depends how much that you want to spend and if your trying to personalize. Whenever I cant think of something for my friends (im 23), i normally go to bath & body works and pick up a gift basket, every girl loves that stuff, itll run you around $30. If your looking to spend more than that, gift certificate to a spa. If you can spend higher, concert tickets for a band that you both enjoy.

Well \n\n1.You and your new mate can do the $Money dance $ and have guest pin money on your clothes \n\n2. Get a  bunch of toielt paper and have 4 modles and have 2 helpers for each of the 4 modles and have them create wedding dresses out of the toilet paper. Then have them modle the "wedding dresses". the group picks the best dress and the group wins a gift  Basket.\n\n3. Have a local dance group or company perform
