Of course..that is a very generous gift. The typical dinner plate at a wedding today is around $75.00 and then giving a little gift will be plenty. The gift at the shower is usually your "big" gift that you bring. The envelope that you give at the reception is to help pay for the wedding and then a little extra.

Yes, it is more than generous. The rule of thumb for giving cash as a wedding gift is to estimate the cost of the meal (usually $50-$70 at a midscale place) and use that as the minimum.

Appropriateness relies upon on what the giver can locate the money for. It looks like your brother can locate the money for $50, and if so, it fairly is a superbly super volume. (i could supply a diverse answer if, say, your brother replaced into helping a relatives of six on a low-paying job, replaced into putting himself by using college at evening, and replaced into attempting to pay off medical costs from a protracted hospitalization.) in spite of if he supplies a money or present card or present relies upon on his relationship with the groom and his and the groom's cultural history. In some Asian cultures, money presents are universal. (and albeit, i've got on no account heard of a newlywed couple getting offended at receiving a money present with the aid of fact it replaced into cheesy.) I additionally respectfully disagree that the fee of a modern-day is meant to have some relationship to the fee of the meal served to the travellers. The present isn't an admission fee tag. I even have attended weddings the place the food have been $3 hundred-$500 hundred money in line with head (that's in la, and that i'm specific that's surprisingly user-friendly in NYC, Boston, SF, and different places). could the newlyweds be offended if Grandma (who resides on a mounted earnings) had the audacity to consume the costly meal yet not pony up a $3 hundred present? of direction not. Your brother sounds very beneficiant and considerate. desire he have been my boss. good luck to him!

That is quite generous. The quality of the gift is more the determining factor. My husband and I just bought a $65 Henckel knife block set as a gift for one of his ex-employees and she was thrilled. Henckel is a fabulous line. Chose a gift that has the most thrill power for the buck and fits into their choices.

Yes, very appropriate, no matter WHERE the reception is, ignore the guy about the country club comment. Sounds generous to me.

I think you could easily drop that number to fifty and it still be appropriate depending where you live. I live in the New Mexico and twenty five would be reasonable.

I think $100 is very reasonable. My cousin got married earlier in the year and we gave them $100. Some gave more and some gave less.

It's too much for a single person. I would say $50 is just right.

That is my standard gift. Most young couples appreciate the $$
Of course, I am not exactly in New York high society.
