I already spent close to $300 for the dress, shoes, and bridal shower. I still need to pay for my hair to be done. I just don't know what amount I should give in the card. I feel I did enough already to be honest.

This is really a hard question to answer (and it is an EXCELLENT question). If I were the bride (and I was and I did), I would say "your gift to me is being in my wedding"...but apparently your friend hasnt said that...Heck, I even bought the bridesmaids their dresses (and guess what, no gift from them and I didnt care).
Did you ask the other attendants? I would, I'd ask them "hey, are you chicks getting the bride a gift?"...
Otherwise, since you feel you've DONE ENOUGH and I'd say that you have, then don't get her anything. If you FEEL Like you HAVE to get her SOMETHING, I would get her a simple picture frame--something maybe "fancy", like a silver or crystal one, but you can get it at TJ Maxx (here in the US) or even from overstock.com. $20.00 frame, that looks like it's a 75.00 gift, and you are DONE!

Well...you would have to take in account if the reception is at a hall (price per plate). But usually its $50 per person for a wedding gift...it depends if the bride requests monetary gifts, has a wedding list, or hasn't stated what she prefers. If it's u and a guest then that wud be $100.
Hope that helps :)

I would still give the couple a small gift...by agreeing to be in the wedding you agreed to all the costs you have incurred, but that doesn't mean you should give them a little something...a card and a check, maybe $50 or $100 would be great.

If giving money, I would say $30 to $50.
You may be able to find a more meaningful gift though, that doesn't cost so much.

I'd say $100.
Do your own hair and save some money there.

Posted twice??? Same answer as before, being there as a friend is the most important.
