Answer 2

Considering you are going to be at the shower, bachelorette parties & wedding... I would spend around $15 - $20 on the shower gift.

Answer 3

What you can afford, you could put photos together in a nice album,ones of her single with her friends and family. Some memories cost very little. x

Answer 4

All depends on how well you know the bride and if you can afford a pricey gift or not.

Answer 5

It depends on your relationship to the bride and of course what your budget will allow. If she's registered somewhere, check out her list of items still unpurchased and go from there. You'll know when you see the list what you feel you need to do.

Answer 6

depends on your budget and obvious income range. if you guys live in huge houses and drive really nice cars i would say $40-80. if you are a mid-level income $25-40. if your a broke college student $15-25. hope this helps!

Answer 7

Depends on your relationship to the bride.....$25.00 or less if it's just an acquaintance.

Answer 8

For family and close friends, I usually spend $40.00 for the shower.  For the wedding, I try and do $60-$75.00.  If it were for a more casual friend, I would probably try and stick to $25 for the shower, and $40 or so for the wedding.  

If it's for a family member, I try and make it special.  I get a monogram on the towels or sheets, for example.  Or I make sure I buy something that's on their registry that will last, like part of their china.  For casual friends, I try and be a little creative.  For a shower, I might get some measuring spoons, measuring cups (for both dry and liquid ingredients), and some spices from the grocery store and put it all in a basket with a cute napkin liner.  Or perhaps 2 round cake pans and a cake mix in a basket.

Answer 9

No more than $20.00 unless you are like her sister or something, then you can spend more.
