I can relate, as I got married again in my early 50’s and we certainly didn’t really need anything, so we presented a beautiful wishing well, at the entrance of the reception and asked for a ‘Koha’ an offering/gift. Some people gave us money, others gift cards/voucher’s. What you feel comfortable offering is my suggestion…

How much would you spend if you were to buy them a gift? That's the amount that I would send.

It is your friend's daughter's wedding...in your situation I would contribute $100...I feel your most valuable gift is making the massive effort to attend and share their day with them...that is an important thing

$100 as every little helps and unless your flush with money the actual trip to get there and attend has already been a drain on your finances

The fact trhat you made the effort to attend should be gift enough as Im sure that the friends daughter would of appriecated your attendance on her special day may maybe are return invite to where you have travel from an overnight stay and a meal would be present enough a getaway for them.

whatever you can afford if anything would be good if I was the happy couple, we got married in the backyard, had a barby, and shorts, and thongs were the dress code of the day, we upgraded to James Boag it was our biggest expense, we did this 1 because of who we are, and 2 to save cash for our honeymoon, as gifts we told people to bring steaks/beer/salads or cheesecakes maybe even a pav in case things went on into the evening which they did,35 years later it was still one of the best days of our life, we had 4 barbecues and 3 fridges, was one hell of a day shared by all,and not a bank busterEdited 27-Apr-23 08:32am

I don’t think it would be expected. I got married last weekend, (after a 15 year apprenticeship I might add) and when asked we stipulated NO GIFTS because after 15 years together we did not need anything.

I'm with Dada,it's the thought that counts not the amount so just what you can afford.

Whatever you can afford. It's not the amount that's important, it's the thought.

	Wedding gift

	We recently attended our friends daughters wedding. We travelled 7 hours each way to a beautiful venue, but had to stay 2 nights to break the journey. As we are both retired & money is tight we had to put a lot of thought into the wedding gift. As the couple have been together several years they requested money towards a honeymoon. What do others think would be a reasonable amount to gift? We seem to be out of touch? $100 - $500???
