Wedding Gift-Enough??

I am going alone to a wedding in Tampa next month and I have known the family for 40 years (my parents were friends and they are my godparents-daughter is getting married). I am going to give $200. It is from the four of us. We can afford this but wasn't sure if it is enough. Thanks!

I think it is fine, considering you are flying down for the wedding.

Re: Wedding Gift-Enough??

if you are the ONLY one going and the wedding is in Florida then 200 dollars is more than enough.

i agree.. i think that since you are the only one going, ANd you're going to need to pay to get down there, $200 is plenty!
i had a family at mine, who didn't have to travel at all... they have 3 grown children who all have good paying jobs, and the daughter brought her boyfriend... they gave us $100 from all 6 of them- the grown kids didn't even give their own cards or gifts! so, yeah, ... i'd say $200 would be great in yoru case!

I am lucky enough that my mom is paying for the airfare and hotel so all I need is this money and some spending (very little as we won't be there too long).

$200 is very generous, considering they only have to pay for 1 plate.
