| Listen, my friends had to travel far away for my wedding, and I told them I didn't want a gift. Most gave me $50 or so, and that was plenty. I was just happy they were there. The best gift we got from an attendant was a great wedding picture frame. We love it. Maybe try something like that. Gift cards are fantastic too! |

| I have found that the minimal wedding gift should be $100 from family and $50 from friends. Keep in mind this depends on wedding cost and cost of living in the area.I also found people don't give as much the 2nd time you get married. |

| These other extraneous factors don't come into it at all. As an attendant, especially, you should be giving a special gift. It doesn't have to cost a lot - the meaning is more important than the cost. |

| There isn't any appropriate amount. Give what you can afford. Being an attendant in the wedding, you already have incurred a lot of expenses. Wedding gifts are not obligatory, they are optional. I'm sure they would appreciate whatever you can afford. Besides, it's the thought that counts not the amount. |
