It is only necessary to get an invitation to a wedding, and immediately there is a delicate question: how much money is being given now for the wedding? How much do they put in the envelope? After all, it has long been no secret to anybody that the best gift for a wedding is money.
Do you still doubt this? And in vain! Just imagine five dining sets, several electric meat grinders, irons and a whole mountain of blankets! Not to mention the fact that young people will certainly want to choose what they need, relying on their own taste and requirements. The only acceptable way out in this case is to compile a vi-leaf, i.e. list of gifts of different value, which will please the newlyweds. After all, many still believe that to give a large box is much more worthy than a small envelope. And, maybe, you really will present a thing that for a long time will be a pleasant reminder of the wedding and about you for a young family - who knows ?!
But if we still convinced you that the best gift for the wedding - it's money, then an hour from the hour is not easier! We again return to the point where we started: how much money to give to the wedding?
Of course, everyone answers this question independently, starting from his personal budget, material possibilities, the degree of kinship with the newlyweds and even his own personal attitude towards them. It would seem that everything is logical. But on the other hand, to somehow determine the amount, which is not a shame to give, it would be nice to be guided by the prices and even how much the newlyweds themselves spend for the wedding. What is meant? The banal cost of a banquet for one participant is the cost of food and drink. If you want to really make a gift for a wedding, then in money it will be expressed as a payment for the table plus at least 50% from above, and if you planned more, then I think this will only please the perpetrators of the celebration.
Thus, if you know approximately the costs of young people at a cafe or restaurant, then it is not difficult to decide how much to give money to them for the wedding. But do not forget about any additional expenses! Very many guests who put in a treasured envelope to the maximum and left only a trifle in their pockets, faced with fees of "money for diapers" or auction for a piece of wedding cake, get upset and feel uncomfortable. Take into account this moment!
Another problem is possible: you know how much you would like to give money and even how much you are supposed to give for the wedding, but - alas, and ah! - now it is not possible to do this because of their financial situation. What to do? First of all, we must remember that the wedding is a holiday of the newlyweds! And they do it primarily for themselves, and spend as much money on it as they consider necessary and possible for themselves, and invite people to whom they want to experience this happy and momentous moment together. After all, without a dear and dear to the heart of the guests, the holiday will not take place either. And here we definitely do not count how much money you need to tear off from yourself and your family to give a young family for a wedding. Just decide for yourself: if this is a formal invitation from people who are not close to you, then it's probably easier not to go to the wedding, than to blush before the toast, counting out the bride's profits aloud. If this invitation is from close and dear people, then, most likely, it does not matter to them how much money you can give for the wedding - they value your presence and participation in their holiday! Therefore, give as much as you can, from the heart and do not worry: a wedding is not a commercial enterprise. And even small money, combined with the money of others, can materialize into something necessary for a young family.
100 dollars, 50 or 1,000? For each, this sum sounds differently. Someone thinks,
