Question

What is a proper amount of $ to give as a wedding gift for a nice sit down dinner reception?

Answer 1

Contrary to popular belief, your monetary gift has nothing to do with what kind of reception is being thrown: you do not need to "cover your plate". Give what you're comfortable giving and what you can afford to give. You're there as a guest, and you don't have to pay to be there.

Answer 2

Money is always an acceptable gift.  But base it on how well you know the couple and what you can afford.  The dinner has nothing to do with it.  I would say at least $50 and up to $300.

Answer 3

There is no set standard exactly how much.

It totally depends on your relationship, how close you are with the couple. If you are close you can give what U can afford. Like if you're well off right now then U can give as much and if you're not so well off yu can give what u can afford, they will understand.

If you don't know them so well, then U just stick with something like 50$ - 100$ (not per person, U may be couples).

Good luck!!!

Answer 4

There is no proper amount to give. It's a gift. It doesn't have to have a monetary value. You didn't ask them to invite you to a nice sit down dinner. Enjoy being with your friends, and don't think about owing anything.  

Answer 5

At least $50 per person - $100, each if you can afford it.  It costs at least that nowadays for a decent wedding experience.
