anywhere from 50.00 to 100.00 I would think....
But for me there is no amount, because if you give to someone and it's from your heart it will be appreciated....
I just got married in April of this yr. and we had an wishing well reception because we already had everything that a couple needs when they first move in together but, anyway, we got amounts as small as $20.00 and amounts as large as $500.00 from one person and the $20.00 was just as appreciated as the $500.00 because it was the thought behind it, it was giving in hopes to help us out on starting our lives together as Mr.&Mrs.
So to me it's not the amount that matters but, the love behind it....

It might depend on the wedding, and whether it's going to be a lavish affair or a smaller ceremony. But $50.00 is considered appropriate for a gift, but if you don't want to appear cheap or extravagant I'd say 75-100. But 50's passable, and no one's really going to care how you look since it's not your wedding.
Of course, monetary gifts are typically considered faux pas at weddings, but not always. For some people everyone gives money at weddings. But if the couple is registered for presents somewhere you should check that out first.

I would say it definetly ranges. But these days If i went alone it would be 150-200. If we went together it would be 250-300. But again it depends. My good friend just got married, I was a bridesmaid and I gave her $400. Use your own judgement, I am sure you will give what is appropriate.
I personally never have, but some people call the hall and find out how much a plate is so, they can at least match that.

It depends on where the wedding is held and what kind!
I have been to places where I wouldn't put less than $250 in the envelope because I knew the place charged over $75 per plate and I want to give them a $100 gift--me and my guest attended.
I went to one wedding where the hall was not much more than a barn so I gave them $50.
And yet another was a garden party, yet classy so it was $100.
On my wedding day, I received $20 from my aunt who was on a really tight budget. She hadn't been working in quite some time due to illness and I didn't think anything of it because her gift to me was being there on my special day.
Feel the place out before you sign/stuff the envelope unless you have an idea of how much they charge per plate.

what ever you can afford to give. Usually anywhere from $50-$100 for a single person. $75-$250 for couples or family.

Give what you can, not what you think you should, it doesn't matter how much money you give, it's the thought behind it, it's giving out of love, not out of obligation that matters.
Nobody wants a gift that's going to break the bank of the giver.
Give from your heart, but don't give more than you can afford.

Well depending on how well you know the person, approximately $100 is usually acceptable. If it's someone you're rather close to, I'd say a little more than that.

It depends on your financial situation. Do not put yourself in the poor house over a gift. Give what you can give comfortable. A gift is just that..a gift not an obligation.
