How much should I spend on a wedding present?

Question: How much should I spend on a wedding present?
Answer: The general rule of thumb is to try to estimate how much your meal will cost, or generally between $65 and $150 per person. If you brought a date, you both should contribute to a larger gift. If you simply can’t afford this much, then give the nicest gift that you can.
