How much to give as a wedding present:

They're lucky to have me there. In fact, they should give me money for attending.

A €10 voucher for Champion sports

thats a tough one - ive seen people say that they pay 100 or 150-200 for a couple. thats complete madness i think (unless its a really close family member)
it also costs so much to attend most weddings - some of the possible costs: outfit, babysitters, drinks, transport, hotel, possibly even flights, day off work (that may be holidays or unpaid leave) and so on

its all good craic but its a bloody expensive day - so i wouldnt be going overboard on pressies.

i usually get a thoughtful gift or if theres a wedding list i do that - no more than 50 though.

i want to give good pressies and i try to suss what they need or want - rather than get a generic pressie like a toaster, glasses, frames. but at the same time i dont buy into the idea that a pressie should cover the cost of you being invited.

I thought 100 per person was the norm, shows how stupid I am.

that was in the boom times though - even then though... i never went that far. the only people ive ever spent that much on were two cousins i love to bits and am close to. spent 250 on one of them but that was for handmade name place cards with these glass stone trinkets people could keep.

I'm more a funeral crasher tbh, bring a mass card and you get fed and watered !! Weddings are old news
