    Hi, I've been invited to my friends sisters wedding as he wants someone there who he knows who's not family. I only barely know his sister but I'll be sitting at the table with all her family. I've never been to a proper full wedding before and just wondering about what to give as a gift? Could I just give a card with 100 ??

    That's more than enough for a single guest to give, if you can afford it then go for it-but you're essentially a plus one so your friend really is responsible for the gift side of things.

    Or are you his plus 1? If so, up to him to sort gift out.

    €100 is lots if you aren't bringing a plus one, especially if you hardly know the B & G.

    I think this too - if you're the +1 the gift isnt really your responsibility. He should sign your name in his card.

    Sounds like you're his plus 1 alright, in which case you wouldn't be a regular friend/guest. I think since we're talking about the brother of the bride, he's hardly going to be putting the gift and card from him and someone his sister doesn't know, it would be weird to me. 100 I think would be very generous under the circumstances, seeing as you're mainly doing this as a favour for him. Personally would get a small token gift and card for B&G anyway. Nothing too expensive though.

    I think if you feel you must give something, I'd give a gift rather than cash.

    The 100 you suggested would be very generous, really your friend should sort out the present as he is actually invited, as the plus 1 you really shouldn't be expected to give anything. Definately don't buy a gift.....nothing or cash !!
