The proper thing to do is to bring money not a gift from a registry. It is a pain for the groom and bride to have to worry about big boxes etc... If it is 50 per person then you should leave at least 100 as a couple.

How much you spend on a gift has absolutely nothing to do with how much the wedding is costing the couple! Choose a gift that you think is appropriate for them - much better than cash - and the cost really, really doesn't matter.

For one- I have never met a couple who would even tell the guests how much a plate costs because they paid for it. It is not required to pay for a plate at a wedding.
If the couple is registered, they usually only want the item on that list. If you are unsure if they want people to pay themselves for the plates, just ask.
If it is a bit out of your budget, you can ask to be included only in the reception.

What you can afford for a gift, there's no set amount, and it doesn't matter how much money your dinner costs the hosts. It's whatever you feel comfortable giving. For some people, that may be $20, for others it may be $100.

The proper thing to do is ask where they are registered. You should go there and make your selection of a gift from something they have already pre-selected. It's fun! And if there is nothing you can afford give them a gift certificate for that store.

Its actually the present that counts.
If you are not thta friendly with the couple, give what you feel is appropriate.
If you close give a personal gift.
I gave a figurine when I was best man to a friend. It wasn't that expensive in comparison to stuff on their list, but it was personal. Its now displayed on the mantle in their house!
So monetary cost isnt all!

In the US, $0. You should give a gift off their registry worth at least $50 and have it sent to their home.

They are hosting a party and didn't ask you if the cost was okay with you.
You are a GUEST. Any thing you give to the couple is considered generous.
