I just got married, and I'd say $50 or just under is fine for a coworker. That's about how much I'm spending on a casual friend. And according to my registry, that's about what our casual friends are spending on us. $150 seems excessive to me - and I don't care how much they're spending per person!
I will be pretty shocked if we see very many $100-range gifts. And personally, I'd rather not get cash. That just disappears - I'm more interested in things that will create memories....

I would say the norm is $100 per couple. If you are going alone $50-$100 is probably good.
Depends on how close you are to the person. You may want to do more than $100.

Honestly, I think that whatever you're comfortable and able to give is sufficient.
However, I have heard that most people like to give what they assume it cost the bride & groom to feed them at the reception. Depending on where you live, this can range from $50 to even $150 per person. Weddings can get expensive that way, and it irritates me when the bride & groom EXPECT to receive gifts like this. I would hate to think that my guests this August are going to be stressing out over what to give us as a gift! I just want them at the wedding, I don't care if they give us anything :)
Good luck!

| Question to the brides/grooms and please be honest. I am going to a wedding tomorrow and need to get a gift. The bride is NOT registered anywhere. I must give them money I guess. I'm used to getting a china place setting for my gift per the register,or money for family. She is a friend and I need to know how much money should I give them? She is a coworker and the reception is at a nice place??????? Please advise,PC
