No matter how much they write and talk about the fact that money is not worth giving for a wedding, our life dictates otherwise. After all, such a celebration is very costly for a newly emerging family. In order to somehow cover the expenses of the newlyweds, guests invited to the wedding donate money. The question is how much money to give?
First of all, it all depends on the size of your wallet, as well as on the degree of kinship in relation to the young couple.
Parents of the newlyweds. It is believed that parents should not give wedding money to their children. As a rule, they give the keys to the apartment or the keys to the car, possibly from the dacha. A good option is to present a honeymoon trip.
The relatives of the newlyweds are grandfathers, grandmothers, aunts, uncles, brothers and sisters. If you decide to give money, then you have to fork out. Your close relatives are getting married or are getting married. Such an event happens once in a lifetime. Therefore, the amount in the envelope should be decent - preferably a round one and one bill. For example, 100 euros, 100 dollars, or 5000 rubles.
Friends put one large bill in a congratulatory envelope. As stated above, it can be 100 euros, 100 dollars or 5000 rubles. Friends of young people, as a rule, are students graduating from their studies, and they can not afford large expenses. Therefore, everyone chooses the amount according to their capabilities.
Acquaintances, neighbors, colleagues - This category includes people whose relationships are far from friendly. In this case, it is not difficult to calculate the amount of a monetary gift. Estimate how much a banquet in a particular restaurant will cost and multiply this amount by two so that the young couple can recoup the cost of the wedding.
Do not forget that with the wedding money, the newlyweds mainly buy the missing equipment for the house, interior items or travel vouchers. Make your own contribution, however small, to the financial well-being of the young family.
