How much should I spend on a wedding gift in the UK?

Wedding gift spending in the UK is a personal choice, and there is no rule that says you must spend a certain amount. Many guests choose to give cash or a contribution to the couple's honeymoon or gift list, while others prefer a physical gift. The amount often depends on how close you are to the couple. Close family and friends may give more, while colleagues or distant relatives might give less. You should also consider your own travel and accommodation costs, especially if the wedding is far away or you are in the bridal party. It is perfectly fine to give a smaller gift if you have spent a lot to attend. The most important thing is that the gift comes from the heart and fits your budget. If you are unsure, you can ask the couple if they have a gift list or a preferred charity. Many couples now ask for contributions towards experiences or home improvements instead of traditional gifts. Remember that a handwritten card with a personal message is always a lovely addition. Never feel pressured to overspend, and never compare your gift to what others give.
