Money for a wedding gift??

Question

My mom is going to her husbands sister wedding and would like to know how much money she should give as a wedding present.. It is her 3rd wedding and she is around 50 years old if that helps. Thanks soo much!!!

Answer 1

Check to see if she has a wedding gift registry with local stores.  If not a gift card to a store that deals with oh say.... housewares, or a department store would be ok.  Maybe a couples gift certificate to a day spa?  Restaurant gift cards?

Answer 2

I see... the 3rd wedding eh.... if you are invited the first time, I think you may give $180-280. If it is not, then $160-250, also give her a approriate greeting too, you see, age is sensitive. :D

hope i helped~ :D

Answer 3

$250

Answer 4

I dont know, I usually give $50 bucks or so.

Answer 5

$50 or $100.....she is family, but it is her third wedding so that makes it tricky. Why not just give a gift instead. Since they most likely don't have a registery and have mostly everything they need.... why not get them a gift card for say dinner and a movie, or maybe an airline if they are planning on going on a honeymoon, or even a somewhat nearby hotel for a weekend getaway.

Answer 6

100

Answer 7

I personally think that giving money for a wedding or asking people to give you money instead of a gift is really rude and has no thought attached to it.

When they have been married for 30 years are they going to light the dinner table with the $50 notes they got for their wedding? Will they leave two lovely one hundred dollar bills to their grandchildren in the will?Will they line up all the lovely bank notes they were given in a display case in the living room for people to admire?

Tell your mum to get her sister something lovely that she thinks they will love and want to keep. Then it won't matter how much it cost because they willl never know. They will just know that your mum took the time and effort to choose something unique to celebrate their marriage.

Champagne glasses or beautiful linen never go astray.. Massage oils and champagne to make the honeymoon more interesting. Candlesticks for their romantic dinners. A beautiful album for them to place wedding photos. All of these things show a lot more love and affection than money - no matter how much you give.

Answer 8

3rd wedding, honestly, they probably have all the housewares/etcetera that they need, possibly even duplicates of some things. A small amount of money ($50 or so) or even just a gift certificate for a nice dinner out seems as though it would be quite appropriate tucked in a nicely written card wishing them all the best.  It is in fact the thought that counts, after all.

Answer 9

$100...it is her 3rd wedding after all

Answer 10

I would say 50 bucks since its her third marriage.

Answer 11

Well, since it is her third wedding, no more than $50-100.  Since it is her third wedding, I wouldn't be asking for any gifts.
