What's an appropriate amount to spend/give to a couple having a destination wedding?

Question

We will be flying to the Dominican for a cousin's wedding, so spending the money on the trip etc. Normally we do about 100-150 from the two of us. My parents are still giving that much, but I think it's too much. What is the etiquette for that???? I have to admit I haven't a clue, but I didn't think it was expected to be the same amount when its so far from home.

Answer 1

There is no set amount of money or specific gift expected. It is exactly that, "A gift" which mean's it is what ever you can afford and or feel comfortable giving!

Answer 2

that totally depends on what you can afford

Answer 3

A gift is a gift.  If you have to give less to meet your own expenses, do that.  I think $50 would be a nice gift.
