Think the general expectation in the North now is at least £100 STG as a gift.

[wherefromreferee?]

Anywhere between £100-£140 in the occupied 6.  Down in Mexico, its between 150 and 200 yoyo's

Per couple or per head?

Im assuming that is per couple

Thought it was a standard £100 per couple, or am I being a tight b4stard?

the woman's cousin is getting married tomorrow, she wouldnt let me contribute any money towards the wedding present!  I seen her put about £150 into the card when we were writing it, couldve been more cuz i know she was looking around that day for MORE £50 notes!! I'm from Down and from what i can gather from the weddings i've been to is that £50 a head is about right to cover the cost of the meal etc, maybe it is the norm in tyrone for the amount to be larger. (due to other circumstances we're not even goin to the meal/reception) Only thing i'm worried about now is that i have 3 family weddings next year, (and probably a couple of friends weddings too!) I hope that i dont have to fork out the whole amount for all those weddings!!


with regards to weddings being a money making exercise, i thought this was ridiculous, as i thought the costs were too high. but when you look at the figures; say that the wedding is costing you £25,000, then 250 guests averaging £100 a head and you're breaking even! invite an extra 50 guests; costs dont rise too much (economies of scale etc) and youre onto a winner!!

A mate of mine works in the Art College as a lecturer and for every wedding he gets a piece of art from a student who needs beer money.  Cheap-skate opportunist!

100 yo yo if you are going by yourself, and 200 if you are bringing the queen....WHat about if you are best man? Are you expected to give more?

250 guests is a big big wedding.  Plus, weemen like their weddings lists, so say 100 or so people decide to purchase or buy their own gift, suddenly instead of breaking even, you're down £10,000 already
