Consider What Role The Bride Or Groom Has In Your Life
It makes the most sense to begin with close family members and friends. Whether it’s your sister, brother, or best friend who’s tying the knot, you probably aren’t opposed to splurging.
In these instances, you can go as big as you please, but the average is around $200.
It’s also important to keep in mind how much you’ve already spent on the nuptials. Have you attended an engagement party and purchased a gift or gone away on a bachelorette trip?
If you’ve invested in the couple’s happy day, it’s perfectly fine to opt for a more sentimental gift as opposed to a lavish one.
Next up are acquaintances: for instance, those friends you may have known for a long time but don’t see that often or even distant relatives. Despite not being super close with them, their weddings are still exciting, sentimental events.
To celebrate these occasions, you can begin by browsing gifts that cost from $75 to $175. Where you end up landing in that range will all depend on your personal connection to the couple, as well as your budget.
Last but not least are coworkers and colleagues. You may find yourself getting invitations to the weddings of those in your office and have no clue what to gift them.
Again, your working relationship with said coworker should be accounted for. Are they a newer member of your team, or are they someone you’ve been working with for over a year?
Depending on your answer to this question, your gift will probably fall within the $50 to $100 range.
Don’t Feel Pressured To Go Beyond Your Budget
