wow... that's great. Congratulations to your g-mom and her fiance. I think it's great that someone of her age has someone to spend her time with. I wish them all the best.
I'd say, there is not "right" or "wrong "amount..Give what you feel is appropriate. Is it a formal wedding? did they spend allot per person? etc... I'd say, since they are family and you are both going, $100 is a good starting point. It's yoru grandmother, so whatever you give, she will appreciate. In fact, she is probably just happy you are there.
Have a great weekend!

I don't think you should give money, how about a picture of her when she was young, maybe a bit glamorous, in a nice frame, or one of her and new hubby. I think when people give money it's because either they can't be bothered finding something to buy, or the person they are buying for is too fussy. If the person they are buying for is too fussy then get the photo anyway.
Love and thought is priceless.

If it was my grandmother's wedding I would give her and her new husband at least $50.

As much as you can afford. Grandma will understand. Mine refuses to accept cash gifts from me.... I'd give her a gorgeous new photo frame or album. Or a beautiful candle holder with her favorite candle in it...

i dont know. i think its weird to give money for my grandmas wedding. isnt there something more personal? do they do activities together? a nice picture to frame there wedding photo in would be nice. my grandpa remarried after my grandma died and i thought it was weird of me to give him cash so i framed some family pictures welcoming this new woman into our crazy family:)

about $75 per plate...lets say you are bring your husband or a guest $150 is fine...figure that you are paying for what it cost them to pay for you to eat...maybe a little to spare
