Question from a Bride and Groom . .

What is the average amount spent or given as a wedding gift?

Response . .

The average amount given in cash is $100. 

The average amount spent on a gift card is $50.

And the average amount spent on a wrapped gift is $75.

I have seen Brides and Grooms open envelopes with just five $1 bills inside the wedding card and I have  seen a wedding card with a check for $1000 in it.  And I have also witnessed a Bride and Groom opening a wrapped gift with absolutely nothing in it, the box was empty.

Two of the best gifts that I have seen were a beautifully constructed bird house for the backyard of the couple's new home and a beautifully decorated mail box with the couple's name on it.  Both of these items were "homemade."
