Wedding gift for afters

Sam Kade

What would someone give to a couple getting married family only to ceremony and meal and inviting a bigger crowd back to hotel after? It's an aunt of the bride and her husband invited to afters.

Normally for an afters, we'd spend around €40-50 on a gift (wouldn't give cash), but as this is a bigger deal of an afters...I'm not sure what's required. As you're an aunt of the bride, I imagine you want to be a bit more generous (I'm just assuming here, maybe you're not close at all?!), so I'd go with a gift worth about €70-100, but again whatever you can afford, and nothing at all if you'd rather not!

Maybe other people who've been to a wedding party like this will have a better idea?

Personally if invited to afters would probably give a card and around 50 Euro mark or a equivalent gift.

If I was going to my nieces wedding, I'd give the same regardless of whether id been invited to the whole wedding or just the afters.

Great if you have no more than 5 nieces but if you have closer to 20 like my wife has and many of them getting married for a second time €100 seems expensive for afters.
