Inexpensive Wedding Gifts and My Top Wedding Gift Ideas

Thursday April 20, 2006
It's no secret that going to a wedding costs money. Even if you don't have to travel or stay in a hotel, there's still often a new outfit to look your best, and of course, a pricey wedding present. The general rule of thumb on how much to spend on a wedding gift is to estimate how much your meal will cost the couple - typically in the US between $50 and $150 per person. That's no small potatoes. But if you simply can't afford that, it doesn't mean you should go empty handed. Here are some creative inexpensive wedding gift ideas that the bride and groom are sure to love. And if you've got a little more cash to spend, here are my top 5 wedding gift ideas.

That is amazing that the per plate cost can climb so high. Of course the range can be great at one particular place too if the venue has different menus and different rooms from which the bride can choose.
