Is 100 pounds enough for a wedding gift?

One hundred pounds is a kind and thoughtful contribution that many guests give without hesitation. It is enough to cover a substantial part of a reception meal or to make a meaningful contribution toward the couple's future. You should never feel that you need to give more simply because others might.

The amount you give should reflect your own circumstances. If you have travelled far, booked accommodation or are on a tight budget, a smaller gift is completely fine. The couple will appreciate your presence and your thoughtfulness far more than the figure in your envelope.

If you are giving cash, place it in a neat card with a personal message. Some couples prefer digital contributions through their wedding website, so check their details before you decide. If you are unsure, remember that a sincere note and your attendance are the most important parts of any gift. Your relationship with the couple matters more than any amount.
