Is $100 OK for a Wedding Gift? Wedding Gift Etiquette & Tips

One of the most common questions wedding guests ask is: “Is $100 enough for a wedding gift?”

The short answer? Yes, $100 is a reasonable wedding gift, but the right amount depends on your relationship with the couple, the type of wedding, and your personal budget. Let’s explore how much you should spend and what factors to consider.

How Much Should You Spend on a Wedding Gift?

💍 Casual Acquaintance or Co-Worker: $50–$100
💍 Friend or Distant Relative: $75–$150
💍 Close Friend or Family Member: $100–$250
💍 VIP (Siblings, Best Friend, or Parents): $150–$500

A $100 wedding gift is generally appropriate for most friends, co-workers, and extended family members.

Factors That Influence Gift Amount

✔ Your Budget: Only give what you’re comfortable with—meaningful gifts matter more than the price tag.
✔ The Wedding Type: A destination wedding or luxury venue might warrant a slightly larger gift.
✔ Group Gifting: If $100 feels low, consider pitching in for a group gift with others.

Alternative Wedding Gift Ideas

💡 Personalized Gifts: Custom artwork, engraved keepsakes, or framed wedding vows
💡 Experience Gifts: Spa day, wine tasting, or a weekend getaway
💡 Cash or Gift Cards: Perfect for couples saving for a honeymoon or home
