How Much Should I Spend on a Wedding Gift

When you receive a wedding invitation, the first question you ask may be "how much should I spend on a wedding gift?" While there is no single figure that is appropriate to spend on any gift, there are questions you can ask to decide what the right amount is for you to spend. 
Buying Wedding Gifts It is customary for invited guests to buy a gift for the happy couple if they plan on attending the wedding. Contrary to popular belief, however, there is no requirement to purchase a gift if you cannot attend, but many people choose to do so as a way to congratulate the soon-to-be newlyweds even if they can't be there in person. In difficult economic times, however, it can be challenging to decide how much to spend on a wedding gift, and there is no one right amount that is perfect for anyone's wedding gift.
