Is $400 a generous wedding gift?

There is no fixed rule for how much to give at a UK wedding. What matters most is that the gift feels thoughtful and comes from your heart. Some guests choose to give cash, while others prefer a physical present from the couple's list. If you are giving money, think about what you can comfortably afford rather than what others might expect.

Many couples in the UK now appreciate contributions toward a honeymoon, a home deposit or a big experience. Cash is often the most flexible option because it lets them use it however they need. If you would rather buy something, check whether the couple has a gift list first. That way you know exactly what they want and need.

If you cannot give a large amount, that is perfectly fine. A card with a heartfelt message and a smaller gift is always appreciated. Your presence at the wedding is often the most meaningful gift of all.
