Similar questions: dollar amount cash wedding gift sister bride Bride 32 yrs.
Well.... First of all, age has nothing to do with it. Is it her first wedding, are you close, what is the cost per person for the wedding, and what can you afford? Ask yourself these questions first.
Are you in the wedding, and are you bringing a guest? Heres what Im giving my Brother and his Fiance for there wedding in October. My Husband, Myself, my Son, my Daughter, and my Niece (that lives with me) are all in the wedding.
I have incured a ton of expenses from the engagement party, to the shower, and ofcourse dresses, tuxes, hair, nails, shoes, yada, yada. Not only did I give gifts at these events, but I paid for part of the events as well. My Mother passed away, so I have tried to do what she would do for my Brother in her place.
Sorry for all the info. Anyway.. I got my Brother and his Fiance the Dyson DC17 which they really wanted. This is normally 650.00 or so.
I got it on sale with a coupon so I paid 380.00. In my opinion it is the retail value of the gift that counts, not what you paid for it. So, I don't know if this helps.
If it is a nice wedding at a hall, with a sit down dinner. I would say a minimum of 100.00 a head for a gift. If you cant afford that, so what!
Your sister didn't invite you to get a gift. Be there to support her in whatever capacity you are able to, and have a blast! Sources: :) .
It depends... I think the answer to this question really depends on the situation. How close are the two of you? How much money you make (roughly...like are you really wealthy, or other?).
I could ask you a bunch of questions to really "get down to it all," but I think the answer honestly lies within yourself. You probably know in the depth of your heart what would FEEL, to you, to be a good amount to gift to your sister (an amount that she would greatly appreciate, and something that wouldn't "break the bank" for you). I'm sure she will be genuinely touched, and honored at whatever amount of money you decide to gift to the two of them.
I think you circumstances dictate what is appropriate I think gifts should be more of what you want to give and can afford to give. A gift should not hurt your financially and your sister is not a child so she should definitely take that into consideration when she gets a gift and if she thinks a gift would cause you hardship - she should suggest that your presence at her special day is enough. My husband and I always gave our nieces and nephews a gift or cash approximateing $100.00 - but this was at least 15 years ago and we could afford that.
Now my sisters, who are actually better off financially than we were generally gave my children a gift of about the same amount from the whole family. My children always gave their own gift. So, I guess what I am trying to say - is that - the right amount is exactly what you personaly feel you want to give.
I prefer to give family a gift (perhaps crystal or some other fine object) so that they have a memory of who gave them this in the years to come. Some stores have sales on certain good pieces and you can order Waterford crystal directly from the factory in Ireland and it is more reasonable in pricre .

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
