Banknotes have long become a traditional wedding gif.webpt, now guests do not need to puzzle over what to present to the newlyweds: a refrigerator, a TV set, a set of dishes, a carpet, bed linen. The spouses will spend the money given by relatives and friends on the necessary things, and will not think about where to put the next set. Do not forget that the preparation of the celebration will require a large amount, and it is quite understandable that the newlyweds expect to cover the costs, or at least part of them, at the expense of donated funds. But after the guests have received an invitation to the holiday, a serious question arises: "How much money do you need to give for the wedding?"
What does the amount depend on?
Why banknotes are considered the best wedding gif.webpt:
- Young people will be able to spend the donated amount as they wish.
- Guests do not need to waste time and effort looking for an original surprise.
- If you give the newlyweds something, there is a chance that someone will give a similar present.
- Perhaps newlyweds at the very beginning of family life are limited in funds, and it is difficult to create a life from scratch.
There are certain rules of etiquette, according to which money for a wedding is not given. So it is undesirable to hand over banknotes in the following cases:
- you go to the celebration to the boss;
- newlyweds are much older in age;
- the newlyweds are financially secure and do not need anything.
There is a minus in a cash gif.webpt - it is faceless, and in a couple of minutes the envelope with banknotes will be lost among similar presents. To make a surprise memorable, hand in bills in an original way: make an envelope for money yourself, read a funny poem of your own composition, show a funny scene or come up with some other exclusive congratulation.
So, you received an invitation to the wedding, decided that you will hand the bills to the newlyweds, and now you need to decide how much money to give. It should be borne in mind that each person has individual financial capabilities: someone can put a large amount in an envelope without serious losses for the budget, while someone will have to put it off for a long time to collect a good gif.webpt for the newlyweds. Also, the size of the present will depend on the degree of kinship: parents and close relatives will certainly want to make a luxurious gif.webpt to the bride and groom, and barely familiar guests can limit themselves to the standard amount.
General recommendations:
- Close friends, employees, relatives use the classic scheme to calculate the appropriate figure: the approximate cost of a wedding banquet is calculated per person and multiplied by two. It turns out that the newlyweds will "recoup" the money spent on the gala dinner and will also receive an additional bonus from the guests.
- How much money to give friends for a wedding? Friends, as a rule, are 20-30 years old, they have just graduated from university or are gradually building a career, they themselves marry or are getting married, and therefore often do not have too much income. Usually friends put a large bill in an envelope from one person - 100 dollars or 100 euros, sometimes 5000 Russian rubles, depending on their own capabilities. If the best friends are a young married couple, they can give $ 200-300 for two, and young people can give $ 50-70 per person.
- Witnesses often prepare a common envelope for the bride and groom, where they put the same amount, depending on the format of the holiday. Surely, the witnesses know how much it cost the newlyweds to prepare for the wedding, so it will not be difficult to calculate the amount of the gif.webpt.
- Grandmothers, grandfathers, aunts, uncles, as a rule, do not spare anything for children.How much to give to close relatives? The minimum amount should not be less than $ 100, and how many large bills to put in is decided individually.
- Brothers and sisters prefer to present a common surprise with their parents, but in the event that brothers / sisters marry or marry the youngest, they can give a large sum: from 100 to 500 dollars. If there is such an opportunity, please your little sister or brother who are creating a new family and will be sincerely happy with any gif.webpt from a loved one.
- Parents can give both a large amount of money and an expensive present: vouchers for a romantic trip, keys to a new car or apartment, a country house.
Moms and dads from both sides can agree in advance what kind of gif.webpt they will prepare for the children. You can fold and present one envelope with a large sum from two families.
- The godmother and godfather give the newlyweds about the same amount as the relatives. It all depends on your own capabilities, but you don't need to take out a bank loan or borrow to surprise your godchildren with a luxurious surprise. Traditionally, godparents present icons to the bride and groom as a symbol of a future happy family life under God's protection. After all, the purpose of godparents is not in expensive gif.webpts to godchildren, but in instructing on the spiritual path, and for second parents it is important that children develop a life together, regardless of financial well-being.
When calculating the size of the gif.webpt that you will give to the newlyweds, take into account the format of the wedding: if a chic reception is planned, a large amount is awarded, and if it is a modest dinner in a restaurant, then gif.webpts are given much easier.

Guests, and so generally give large sums, and no one wants to give extra money. Demanding to spend money with elements of demonstrating one's own wealth is not the best idea, so many wedding organizers are gradually moving away from this tradition.
