    I know the wedding present/gift amount is a thread done to death So I apologise for bringing it up again! I'm wondering what the etiquette is if you are invited as a couple to a wedding but where only one of you is able to go (other person working away) would you give your usual gift as a couple or a bit less?

    Well is is like a couple as in ye have have been going out for a good few years, or married or a boyfriend.. I still think it is up to what ye can afford to give on the day whether going as a couple or not... I wouldn't stress too much about it..

    If it was a boyfriend who lets say maybe a year or two and they do not really know him I would say just give for yourself.
    If tis a long term boyfriend and they know him give from two of ye.

    But all in all give what ye can and do not worry

    It depends on how close we are. If it is a close friend of both of us then we'd give our usual gift. If we go alone and the other one doesn't know the bride or groom at all we'd probably give a little less. I went alone to a wedding last year (I was my gay friend's plus one and my husband had never met the couple getting married) so I gave what I'd give when I attended weddings before I had a partner.
